main page.The schoolies are here but in small numbers and inconsistent showing(the small fish being caught are most probably overwintering fish from the backs of bays and up rivers). Migrating fish have been caught along the Jersey shore for a weeks now and a few along as Connecticut and as far as Point Judith. Herring scouts and small schools of alewives have been in the area for a month; in the canal, Barnstable Harbor, the Sound shoreline and around to Chatham's Pleasant Bay. The word is that a keeper was taken in Pleasant Bay this past week, if so it too was a holdover at the reputed 10 pounds!
So the stripers are here but thin, however the trout have been stocked for more than a month and I wanted to add the list of stocked ponds and rivers for your review. Bass fishing has been on and off with the rise and fall of water temperatures. Try and pick a day after several warm sunny ones for best results. Pickerel fishing is good though and the perch fishing while not what it was a month or more ago is still holding out.
Its a good time to be sure the reels are clean and the (fly) lines stretched. You'll want the boat in the water by month's end!
