Calm Before The Storm!

Not even a sand eel here on BI. Most of ours are Chesapeake fish, so we'll probably be later than anyone. I had my first keeper by this time last year though...

According to my logs, last year things were about a week early. This year, things were about a week late. So compared to last year, this year seems reely late. I've been getting keepers every trip to CT since the last week in April, and I got my first Western MA keeper yesterday. There's a lot of bait around right now. Me thinky it's gonna be a banner year once it's in full swing.

Last year the 17th of April, this year the 25th. 8 days later than usual and the bite really didn't get hot until this past Friday. Nothing out east for me yet, water still cold and all the bait is offshore. This week and the wamer weather should bust it wide open, I hope.

The bogs were covered with ice this morning from the sprinklers going all night.

We need warm, real warm days. This week hopefully. One good thing with late starts is that the mung holds off later as well. One can hope and wish.

I think the Chessy fish are just starting to hit us in force in Delaware right now so it may be a few more weeks. Although that doesn't mean a big group of fish hasn't already shot past our baitless shore for some more fertile waters up north.

Should start to see large fish in numbers on Cape and RI in the next 7-10 days. Its about the same every year. Slamzany by Memorial Day.
