Mother’s Day Bass Report: The Time Is No

Made a quick look at a local reef today and honestly wasn’t marking much at first. Took out the binoculars and it told a completely different story. Spread out striped bass were pushing bunker sporadically for miles. Not giant blitzes, but enough life that if you stayed patient and kept moving, you’d get your shots. A couple fish in the 10-18 lb range ate topwater offerings, and if you stuck with the jig long enough there were a few solid fish mixed in underneath. Some of the best early coldwater bass fishing I’ve seen in a long time, and it’s happening close to home. The time is now.
