chunkNplug87 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have not made my way to the shores yet, but the thought has crossed my mind. I will give it a shot next week as the weather looks to start steadily warming up starting Thursday. May possibly be able to get my line tight were i fish being its so close to the rivers.

Firenailer Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 It looks like we have steady 60+ temps forecast starting Friday. The bouys at Execution Light and The WesternSound still aren't reporting but I think the water temps are still under 40. We need some real sunshine and warmer temps to kick things into gear! I'm trying to get my boat ready to launch for next week as I think we must be getting close.

stroipaHuntah Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yeah I made some casts over easter weekend. Not in one of the major holdover rivers but a smaller one. Last year first fish came around April 15, and we had a much worse winter this year so expecting end of April. Big rivers are starting to produce of course but that's not surprising. Should be a matter of when the herring start running... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the turn of the weather you will see a steady increase of fish being produced i know a couple guys that have landed a bass Or 2 in the 20# class but nothing bigger. Still just using SP minnos and rigged sluggos and more rubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfire85 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Planning on giving it a shot next week, if anything just to shake down my gear before it gets serious. Warmer temps on the way should get the ball rolling for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroipaHuntah Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Cormorants egrets and other shorebirds are in the estuaries in norwalk and westport hunting something. Gotta be some kind of bait down there. Probably another two weeks I'm guessing. Got my first one last year around April 15th and this winter was a hell of a lot colder.

chunkNplug87 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Went up the river for the first time last week for a little bit and caught a 27inch striped bass On the very first cast with a bucktail and 4 inch zoom fluke used as the trailer on the bucktail. Ended up catchiing a 12 pound carp a little later then the water slacked up an nothing else happened. Going back out tonight hopefully. sprung a leak in my waders on my last trip so have to get some new ones today. Just gotta find one with a good warranty return policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nice on the fish! LL Bean has a lifetime warranty on waders. And generally Cabelas will replace waders for free, you only pay for shipping. Or go to one of the local Cabela store locations. -bd Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkNplug87 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Got the LL Bean kennebecs Waders, I love them!! Anyways I have been lighting it up at my spots the past couple nights with lots of good size schoolie bass from sizes in the the high 20" to the low 30" bass. Nothing huge yet but cant wait for the big spawners to start coming up. Theres been the occasional 15# -20# bass being caught in the areas but i havnt been that lucky yet. o well at least my rod stays bent for the time being, and for that i am grateful!!
