Trip Summary

The weather was cold and so was the water but with a little bit of finesse, there are some big boys and girls hitting and they’re not even on their beds yet. The introduction of alewives maybe a contributing factor to some chunky fish starting to establish population. Multiple 2 1/2 pounders and 3 over 3 pounds so far in less than three days of fishing.
