Spring is in the air...
Several times a week late in the afternoon, I walk my dog nearby one of my favorite early spring fishing spots. All winter long, I watch the ducks hanging out around the harbor. As spring develops, I notice that the ducks disappear and the seagulls start to show up. About this time I start to wonder when the first striped bass will arrive. Today seemed like a good day to take some casts. After about 20 minutes of casting, I decided that it was still too early and that the fish were not yet here. "One more cast", really "one more cast" I thought to myself as I took "one more cast". BOOM, fish on! Not a small fish either... first fish of the season was a 30+ inch "keeper". Can't wait for tomorrow.
... and the fish are back!

Brenda Sears Just told Jan that she saw some stripers cruzing this week.
Wow -- this is early! How exciting!
Can't wait to get to Barnstable and
some time with my very favorite captain.
