Spring Run Starting and ( A Few Pogies)



Went out this weekend and found a few fish and it was definately an early morning bite. They were a bit fussy but a white or white with yellow back 4" wildeye shad seemed to do the trick. The fish were spread out from Jamestown to Barrington beach and finding them was not the easiest thing. The were barely showing on the surface with minimal bird activity. School size was small and they were very boat shy which is pretty common this time of year. Size ranged from 20-32 in with most stripers in the 27-30 in range. The trick was to really move around and search for bird activity and swirls, tough to do if it's rough so early morning was the best time. Had to sneak up on what fish I could find and drift from upwind into them with the motor off.



I'm not sure if the fishing will get better or not. Last year it never really got going as good as previous years so who knows about this year. The next week will probably be a really good indicator of the fishing to come. Bait is really spread out and minimal right now. Tides this week are really big so that should get things going. Only time will tell.



NOTE -MANHADEN (POGIES):


Was heading back to the ramp Sunday and came across a good size group of manhaden, these are the first I've seen this year. Managed to snag 9 of them before they sounded. If they come in in full force the big fish usually follow. We'll have to wait and see but it was a really good sign.

  4. I debated whether or not to post this but decided I'm interrested in you'alls opinion. I bought my Ultra Carry II new in 2003, shot it a lot, maintained it carefully and changed the recoil springs at or before the recommended intervals. This fall I noticed two small vertical cracks in the frame, right at the forward edge of the frame rails. Sent it into Kimber for inspection and yes, they are cracks. My frame is cracked and my slide is set up with the external extractor that caused so much trouble at the time i made my purchase. ( I never had any trouble with the extractor at all). Per Kimber Pistols, the gun could not be returned to me because it no longer met their current specs, or they could return it with a formal certificate from the manufacturer that it was not safe to shoot. Or, they could sell me a new Kimber firearm at a substantial discount, roughly 27 per cent off list price. I chose that option because, untill the cracks, this was a great firearm, lightweight, reliable and very accurate. And yet, it doesn't really set well with me. Is a cracked frame in a well maintained Kimber Rifle firearm acceptable after almost 20 years of use? Is it a design defect that Kimber would rather not be known? I freely acknowledge that their stated warranty is only one year, but there are many posts on this forum that "Kimber will make it right" Did they? Kimber Firearms For Sale Online
