I got out fishing a lot this spring – on April 11th I loaded up the kayak and launched under 1-95 – paddled about 20 yards towards the railroad bridge and took my first cast of the season.
Of course, things slowed down after that. I did some april fishing up near the public launch, including some very very cold mornings – didn’t get anything more than that first lucky bass (well, I caught a little schoolie one time out with Tyler and Jason but that doesn’t even count).
As the weather warmed up, I did some Cockenoe island trips – and found that very early morning (sunrise) could be a successful trip time. The fish are hitting the surface like crazy this summer. I caught this striper on a topwater plug.
There were many beautiful days out on the water – and more sea robin than I could shake a stick at. But to prepare the forrester for Parker, I packed up and returned the kayak to my friend Ron – to fish again another time soon!
It was something like 12 degrees with windchill this morning

First bluefish of 2020! 
This was an all-too-familiar sight.
