Finally…. the fish are here in catchable numbers and making it worth getting up early to get out to the waters edge. The weather has been a huge bummer the last ten days here with rain and wind and not so spring like conditions but it has not slowed the arrival of the fresh lice covered schoolie bass in many of the local hot spots. This mornings trip was great as I was invited to tag along with a friend of mine Ryan in his 16′ Boston Whaler. Running around in one of these classic boats is wonderful on the right days. It really brings back memories of being 10 yrs old again chasing fish around the local waters or pulling your buddy behind the boat in a tube. Ryan has been fishing hard the last few weeks so finding the fish was not an issue. We started fishing about 5 minutes from the ramp and we promptly had fish on the end of the line. Many of the fish this time of year are not really big but its a great change after freezing all winter long waiting for something to show up to fish for. Even with the rain and wind we got a few solid hours of fishing in and hooked and landed at least 20 fish and lost many more so its offical..They Are Back! Biggest fish of the day was Ryan’s 30″ fish which was about 12lbs and loaded with lice. It would have been great to get out again tomorrow but the forecast does not look good with heavy winds up to 40 knots. Looks like we’ll be shore fishing tomorrow. If your interested in booking some dates this month or at any point this season please feel free to contract me. Good tides and dates are going fast so book ASAP for the prime choice tides
