Every year, there’s a turning point in April, when several species catch fire at the same time. And that turning point happened this past week; with excellent trout fishing, stripers to 30-plus pounds at the herring runs, lots of big largemouth bass, tanker smallies, giant lake trout, inshore codfish, massive brown trout and that’s only just the beginning. Over the coming week we should see a lot more inshore blackfish and a much stronger showing of fresh striped bass migrating in from the south and west. Water temps from Norwalk to Cape Cod are either flirting with 50 degrees, or have already reached this magic number… basically, it’s ‘go time!’
