Rumors have been flying around for a few days now about fresh, migratory schoolie striped bass being caught at specific locations off the southern side of Cape Cod.  I'm usually pretty skeptical with regards to these first reports, especially considering the latest bluefish report  (which I believe was an April Fool's joke).

However these latest striped bass reports are no joke.

For the past few weeks good striped bass fishing has been reported off Connecticut and Rhode Island.  Apparently over the past few days the most adventurous of these bass have decided to head even further north and are now within reach of Cape Cod anglers.

The news isn't terribly surprising, considering how warm this past winter was.  Water temperatures are way above normal and have been for months.  Could these warmer than usual water temps spark an earlier than typical spring migration for striped bass?

So far it appear so.

Man does it feel good to be writing fishing reports again!

Tight lines and best of luck with these early season micro-schoolies,

Ryan
