long way to go.

Took my dogs to a beach up the Sakonnet for a swim early yesterday AM and saw the first big blitz of the season about 100 yds off the shingle...

Stuck my hand in the water for a temp check and it was high 60's if not 70 up there - out front it's not much cooler, maybe a couple of degrees depending

I'm thinking we're still running a couple of weeks late on everything this year

I'm ready for big baits to show any time soon but outside of yesterday morning it still feels - and fishes - like summer mode...

Picked up a nice old school honey lami I bought from some old SoCo geezer that I'm dying to christen, too...

I beat the water for hours last night at a place that rarely leaves me stranded short of at least sacrificing of plugs or eels to bluefish but also puts out decent bass.

Nada. Only hit I had was when I misjudged the retrieve and hit myself in the forehead with my eel.
