Good try chasin and welcome aboard. The season has just started and pretty soon you can change your name to catchin.
Good post though at least some guys are getting out. It is guys like you that will go out and try to fish early that we hear of catching early season stripers. As for me I was out today in the back of IBSP and got the skunk as well. I will be posting my report in the IBSP section of the Furf Fisherman Forum.
Again Welcome Aboard.
Happy Catching
Paul
