Earlier this year??

Got fish with lice on em out of the CT on 4/21/06. Definitely not winterovers. Also, the herring appeared a bit early as well.

I thought we dispelled this whole sea lice thing in an earlier post....and that it wasn't necessarily a guarantee of fresh run fish....Alewife run begins as early as March

I appreciate your input, but I have to disagree. It just seems that the majority of fish I've been seeing/catching have been 30+" fish. The fish I catch in the winter are typically much smaller. Sure, everyonce in a while you get one @15#, but most of em are rats. Right now it is the opposite for me. I caught 6 fish over the weekend. 37", 33", 31", 29", 28", 14". Those just don't seem like holdover measurements to me. That, coupled with the sea lice, trippled with the fact people are getting fish north of Boston, would make me believe that there are migratory fish around right now. What do you guys think??????

A or two earlier up here on the Cape but last night I was pleasnatly surprised at the size fish eating my poppers. Not anywhere as big as Nebe's fish but hoping those guys are just passing through his neighborhood on their way to mine! Earlier means more fish staying longer up here. Could be the year we have benn wishing for on the outer Cape as fish can be caught in P-Town right now, small fish but fish in the surf in April was a good omen. We will see what we will see!
