Happy Spring to all our clients, friends and fellow Baymen! The Season has finally arrived…!

First up: LIKE me and follow me on my FB pages. It is a fast and easy way to communicate and see what we are up in the woods and on the water. We post on our pages multiple times a day!

It has been great to hear from so many of you via e-mail and phone. We are all booked up for May/June/July, August still has open dates as well as September. Call or e-mail for dates.

FISHING REPORT – We have doing well on trout. Bows mostly on light tackle (Thomas Buoyant in gold/red has been killer as usual). Our first trip of the season out was a bust. Five hours of fishing and not a hook-up. We were coming off a low pressure system going to high pressure and the bite was shut down cold! But since then, fishing has picked up considerably. Largemouth bass bite has been hot and cold. The #1 technique at the moment is a Husky Jerk suspended minnow, twitched once every 3 seconds! Thats whats drawing the hits. Go figure? Jigs in the wood is the #2 tackle/technique for LM at the moment.

STRIPERS…! Every year, somebody in Baymen Land catches for the first schoolie of the season. For many years it was me, but other anglers have ben beating me to it these past years. Tick a rubber shad slow along the bottom in moving water on a rising tide and YOU could have bragging rights as the first angler of the year to catch a striper on the MA south shore… Big schools of bass will be here by May 15th and that starts the mayhem for a solid month or more. After that, summer pattern sets it.

BAIT: Herring are in thick EVERYWERE…. Al the rivers on Cape, south shore and north shore are reporting very good numbers of herring moving. The ban is starting to reap rewards. Stripers should be fat with big bellies this spring with all the herring in the bays and rivers. MACKS will be here  in early May and peak out around Memorial Day. So, if you love live-lining, it should be good!

Thats today’s quick report. Follow me on my FB pages and give us some LIKES.
