I thought I posted this question to Skip on another forum, but I can't seem to find the thread,.... to Skip or whomever can contribute, what is the earliest (approx early march, mid or late march, etc) you could expect to have a decent pick of stripers in the spring? what air/water temps are we looking for to give good odds of catching fish? If you guys haven't noticed, winter is too long and I am dying to get the 2004 season started with the boat in and some consistent fishing trips in open water. Thanks
