445 - When do people usually drop their boats in the water where you are? I used to put in for the maiden voyage in mid-March in the Chesapeake in southern Maryland. I didn't start seriously fishing from the boat until mid-April. The stripers and croaker can be just as easily caught from the shore in March and early April. When the season started in mid-April, we would troll the main channel of the Chesapeake. That house will be sold in March and I've been doing most of my fishing from Cape May. Ocean on nice days and DE Bay on less than nice days. I'd sure like to get out there and do some fishing soon. I'll check my chart and see what looks good up by you.
