Late April Into May Weather Allowing
Though I gave up hooking small bass with little baits years ago.
I like to toss big top swimmers and hope to dredge up an early keeper holdover or fresh arrival looking for herring.... pikies, dannys, round noses,pencils, and spooks.
So if no fish its fun to toss and see how some new plugs swim or to test new lines and rods. Loosen up and get some fishing exercise.

First week of May I hit some of the inlets and warm water areas. Freshwater pole with 6 pound test. Sling some small rubber, see if the waders still fit and are waterproof and enjoy the fresh air.

Usually the day after going to MSBA show....just because I can't let any new purchases like reels, plugs,etc go without a test drive......

Honestly....I will go a couple times in late april but they are more exploritory trips then fishing. In april I have all the line replaced on the reels I plan to use this season. I will start fishing in early May. The fist thing I will be looking for in ernest is squid! By late May I will be surf fishing pretty hard thru mid June. Moslty surf but I will run over to BB in the boat for some spring tog if I can find them.
Looking foreward to this season....eels or no eels, herring or no herring. Have custom-plugs-will-travel. 
Also have a special visitor this year for a few weeks, and he is bringing his boat...this is gonna be fun!  |
