The fish are all healthy and fairly heavy. They seem to be gorging themselves on big alwives in the Presumpscot. Fish swimming plugs slow with an occasional stop and you should hook up plenty. Water temps are right around 57-58 degrees but the bay is still too cold. Some guys were having some luck with surface plugs but the fish seem to be a little hesitant.
Soft baits are, as usual, doing well as in white and chartreuse.
With some good warm weather, fishing should break wide open this week. The quantity is down a little from this time last year but the big explosion will happen soon. There are definitely fish to catch with some bigger fish coming in. If you're fly fishing make sure you use shooting lines. If you're having a hard time - fish slowly.
