No work Monday could have meant running down somewhere to find that elusive body of beach hugging bass. Risk vs gain. Return on investment. Hey it's fishing right? Well, with the snow coming tonight I passed, believing time spent working around the house would be better spent, again.
Interestingly it appears the all run has been better than in recent years down in the Chesapeake, which is good, hopefully for the spring spawning run which begins in just three months. I see the Eastern Shore Light Tackle Charters post above saying good things. Yes, they're boat fish, kind of like reports we saw from Jersey's floating fish hunters, but maybe this year is just different. Maybe those SSB fish came in big, literally, and early, and made their way to points south and into the CB. But what about all those slot sized schoolie bass. Those are the ones we like to see was they are the future.
Maybe it will be a late year. After this little blow we have for the next few days things will stay consistent and with the lowering of the ocean temps the bait will continue to move and the "normal" sized fish will show up. There might be one more trip down to the salt. I'm heading to Florida on the 14th for a few days so it might be before or after. Spring can't come soon enough.
