Thanks Buckethead,,
well,there are lots of fish in the housatonic now at the power plant,I usually start in may,I don't do the preliminary fishing anymore,I simply target larger fish.
I could actually start in april or when the water temps get to about 42F.
I do go early but, not all out,I fish hard just before the bunkers show up which is usually about late april or early may.
