Since winter is here. And cabin fever has set in. Lets get this discussion board going. Heres my question.
When and where do you usually go to do some early season catch and release? And what lure/fly works best for you?
I usually start late February early March if we have a mild winter. Otherwise if the winter is a harsh one I will start fishing late March early April. I will always start fishing in Little Neck Bay. The best tide at that time of year is incoming. And the fly thats worked best for me there is an all white snake fly with a fast sinking line stripped real slow. My friend uses a spinning rod with a small white/red lead head with white bucktail that he makes himself. On a nice sunny day we're usually into fish. We always crush the barbs on the hook so its fast and easy for us to release any stripers we catch.
Lets hear how you catch and release early season stripers. Lets get this board going.
