Well the fish are getting really active in Jersey with bunker pods crashing the beach and some decent fish on them . Long Island is starting to produce too so by mid next month they'll be here.South County RI is coming soon. Usually by now I'm chomping at the bit to hit rivers looking for early arrivals but I've spent the whole winter reloading and haven't even touched my gear or tied a leader yet. My wetsuit and waders still have the rotten eel slime stench from when I put them away in October. Its time to start changing hooks ,rigging plugs and finally skin/rig the dead eels in the freezer my wife complains about. Time is almost here ! Who's ready? Any new equipment this off season ? What are you looking forward to trying out this year?
