Quote:I thought about going out last night to check for herring. Does that count?There is herring run in middleboro, plenty of them.Looking back at old threads, it seems like they hit the Cape/Islands a week or two before they show up in Newport. Looking at other fishing reports, it seems like everything is late. Schoolie bass are not here yet but they are in down in Jersey. The 50 degree water is still South of Block Island, so I would give it another week or two at least before they start showing up on the Cape/Islands and another week or two after that for Newport. So maybe Mother's Day Weekend would be a good time to start checking in earnest.
