Hi everyone, It is the first of May. A few of my freinds are religiously searching for that first striper. I have heard of a few scattered catches, many of which seem to come on a sunny day. then the wind comes again from the east and things cool off and the reports slow down. Get ready though because in two weeks this place is going to bust open with small fish ! Other news is that I wrote a story in the May issue of On THe Water magazine. It covers all you need to know on the rips of MOnomoy Island off Chatham southeast corner. Soon we will be fishing (catching)Bruce
