Fishing Lure

Here's one that I landed last week
in the backwaters. I'm guessing it might
have been a holdover.

The striper season is off to a very poor start.  The weather has been cold, especially at night, and the winds have not been favorable for the migration to get underway.  And, there are no fish in the areas where they should be at this time.

I know of no fish that have been landed along the oceanfront, and I certainly know a lot of good fishermen who have been trying the usual early spring hotspots.  I landed a few fish over a week ago in the backwaters.  I'm guessing they may have been holdovers since there was no lice on them.

This is late for the migrating fish, but we have seen these late starts.  It may have been decades ago, but I have seen April starts that happened in the closing days of the month.  Maybe this will be one of those years.

I've been trying along the oceanfront and my son Jon has been hitting a lot of early season hotspots in the Bay.  Neither one of us have caught anything in these locations.  Heck, I can count the fishermen on one hand that I have seen out trying, and that should tell you a lot.
