Default Re: Winter Flounder Fishing

When we had warm winters fishing would start prior to St. Patrick's Day. Usually though, that was the date where guys would start giving it a real effort.

With a winter like this, where the water is still in the 40 degree range going into April, fishing would be sluggish to start and could last into May.

With that said, fish are being caught, just some, in the usual early season cold water spots. Bright sunny days will be good until the water starts warming, and then thereafter it should only get better.

...Still a shame with the 2 fish limit - that's really disheartening for the spring fishery inside where the fishing is good!
