They're in!! But not in full swing, meaning that there are limited pods of schoolies scattered through a small part of the lower river. The way to catch the most fish is to anchor over a pod. Until the pod moves you will catch quite a few of the same size fish. I prefer drifting a larger area, thereby increasing my chances to catch a few larger fish. Most schoolies are 12 to 18" with an occasional fish to 24". Casting subsurface flies and lures produce most of the action, though one angler, who lives and dies casting a gurgler, has already caught a few fish on the surface. However, the best surface activity is still a week or two away. We had lots of warm sunny weather this past week. The river fishes best on still, overcast, low tide mornings. An amber, polarized lens is what you want on these days. Go to bigeyeeyewear.com for a great selection of polarized sunglasses. Anglers have started calling to book trips. Give me a call and join me on the river for a fun day of light tackle or fly fishing for striped bass.
