The spring striped bass season should definitely begin ahead of schedule this year. There is already a very good striper bite taking place in both the small and large tidal rivers thanks to the mild winter. Couple this in with the large schools of both peanut and adult bunker and you have all the makings of an awesome May! Also of note, there are new black sea bass regulations this year which include a season opener on May 1 and running through December 31 in Connecticut waters. Be sure to call now and book your early trips ASAP as all signs are pointing towards a great spring run!
