Some of these are for the ocean, some for the bays...I'll leave it up to you folks to figure it out...

There are those who feel I'm making it too easy on the new guys...
So this post may not be up for too long...

I'll try to leave it up until we get the site bugs fixed....and you are able to use the search key to find all the informative threads we have on these topics....
After that it may disappear depending on how many grouchy comments I get back-channel....

Spring Triggers....

1. The first Noreast pattern when the season opens.
2. A few sunny days in a row...
3. Dramatic drop in barometric pressure preceding a pending storm system.
4. The sudden upward shift of bay temps to where they consistently hold between 45-50 for more than a few days.
5. The shift in ocean temps to where they are steadily at 45 deg and trending upward..
6. The abundance or absence of cold dirty water
7. Gathering of herring in certain harbors and ports
8. The arrival of bunker in back bay areas.


Note how the bunker was the last one. Is it significant that while others place such a value on it, it's listed last here?

You tell me....

Anyone who understands the first 6 triggers I listed, doesn't need my advice.....they're already out fishin somewhere when a combination of two or more of those factors are in play......
