Flowers and Fish Arrival

[finchaser]

Pretty much true for years

Crocuses - fishing for first spring resident bass

Tulips - arrival of winter flounder

Lilac - weakfish are in town

Forsythia - bluefish and fluke are on the move

Dogwood - arrival of migratory striped bass

September's full harvest moon has a tremendous effect on both weakfish and striped bass which take it as a sign to start their annual southern migration. During this lunar period juvenile species of both predator and prey are driven outward along the shoreline.

I wish we had migratory fish that early, they don't show around here till end of may. You guys are lucky.

Tulips brings me back to the time when you could catch a mess of flounder. You could always count on them.

Flowers are blooming. The stripers are a chewing.

Agreed. All day at work the weather felt fishy to me

Yes I remember those times well. 50 flounder a day was not uncommon.

As for the daisies, that is later in the season, around blue fish time. A better gauge is the cherry blossoms, which are around March 15th to April 15th. And all the rest of the flowers that finchaser posted.
