up coming season

[clambelly]

ive read through this thread and everyone has some great theories. i think im just as excited as everyone else for the season to get here. who knows what it will be like, hopefully as fun and exciting as last season.

but a word of caution. the winter is about halfway over and it has been warm, but february hasn't showed its might yet, and before you can blink the bays and ponds just might freeze.

the canal was crap for the first half of the season, but the second half was gang busters. i hope its as much fun this year. had a ball.

Here's some info. This almost qualifies as a spot burn.

A few 20+ pound bass were coming up in the nets of some draggers close to the Block last week. Herring and squid were already in the area as well. I'd normally dismiss any info like this but it came from a reliable and direct source so until I can prove otherwise, I believe it.

On an unrelated note (and hopefully my saying this will reverse the trend most people's log books show), most of the best years for inshore pelagics off RI occured after cold winters, not warm ones.
