Fishing season for 2017

[Frank Castle]

You guys don't have cold water spring fed streams?

we do, but they don't hold many fish due to their small size and volume By the time they form trout streams , the May-June temperatures has already pushed them to 70+F. Softens the meat considerably. I'm on the Atlantic Coastall plain - it's not like Western or Northern or NW. PA. - P predatorkeeper87 axs377

I can drive to my favorite Striped bass hole in Indian River Inlet, DE and my best friend will tell me how many times they got rain instead of the snow the rest of the Tri-state recieved

The yellow spot papios(Carangoides orthogrammus) were biting. I had a friend visiting from off island and decided to try to get some stink on our hands. We landed these 3 fish, a few red goatfish and a dozen triggers. We fished an area about 120ft of water with live baits and put in about 2 hours of fishing time.

First fish of the year. Chubs and holdovers until March, then it starts improving.

Yes sir. Didn't get one fish in January last year so this season is already starting out better LOL.

How do they taste?

Really good. They feed primarily on shellfish living in the sand and have a nice flavor.

Waiting for a couple warmer days then I'll get out some spinnerbaits and catch some bucketmouths.

 

[fishnatics]

Yeah I can't wait till it's warmer. Till then I gotta enjoy ice fishing as much as I can.

Gf and I visited fort Lauderdale so of course we went fishing. Went 3 days total 1 day at lake Ida for peacock bass and largemouth, 2nd day in the glades for largemouth and Oscars and last day the big O for largemouth. Couple pics of a pretty bad ass trip except we managed to come on a cold snap. Sorry for some of the pictures coming out and others you have click on.
