Anyone Changing Gears Yet?
 

Now that hunting season is over, is anyone getting all geared up for fishing season? We’re taking a week vacation to the Bahamas in May and I’ve already ordered a nautical chart, a cruising guide book and I’ve put the deposit down on a rental boat. All the fishing magazines are coming out and I’m starting to look at the water temperatures. I know we have a long way to go but I’m getting cabin fever. Come March, it's time to start thinking about stripers!!!

ready for april and the gulf to start warming up

You have a longer season than me. When do the redfish and speckled trout start hitting around your way? What's hitting now? The water temperature off the NJ/DE coast is about 39 degrees. We're probably just looking at some cod in deep, offshore waters right now. Maybe some striped bass.

Going to Baffin bay 1st week of Feb. for a shot at a big Speck. Move to Texas and fish year round!![8D]

I've done very well in mid-February for reds..........some were huge! Especially at night in the Gulf (between Panama City Beach and Destin).

Hey Woody - if I move anywhere I would move to the Bahamas and start a guide servoce with my boat. Only problem is, I'd miss deer camp in northern Pennsylvania.

The Bahamas are nice, but the deer population is lacking. We also have a fair sized deer herd in Texas. I deer hunted in cutoffs and a T-shirt 3 times this year. It was 70 degrees this afternoon, wind changed to NW and tommorow morning it will be 32. Hang around a day or two and it will be 70 again. Super Bowl forecast 70 degrees roof closed 56 roof open. New England will not know how to act without ice underfoot!

I don't know about getting geared as I have been geared doing ice fishing for pike and rainbows and filling up buckets of yellow perch, Opps, thats fresh water, sorry guys, disregard this post, ;) Bobby

I can't wait for striper season as well. We're pretty much ready. It's just a matter of time now.
