We will be checking on the Blackfish bite before the end of April if the water hits 50 degrees. There was bait present in the lower CT river and some school Stripers have been reported. Hopefully we will have good weather and will be able to report an early start to the season. When we will start charters will depend on the state of the virus epidemic next month, stay tuned and God bless!
