Spring Has Sprung!
The early season action has been good. About one month into the “season” it’s safe to say it’s going good. Early season bass, winter flounder, perch and a couple bluefish. Soon we’ll see real fish migrating move into our waters.
Reports from the river rats are good! Bass are chewing live bloods. Further up shad fishing is in full swing.
Anyone looking to get their rods and reels serviced for the spring run should bring them in ASAP. We were caught up; however, recently lots of tackle in need of service has flooded in. First in first out so if you want your gear repaired in time for the first showing of real deal fishing now is the time!!!
Happy Easter!!!! 🐣
Here’s a photo from this morning’s sunrise vigil.
