First Ones Likely Holdovers

I landed my first stripers of the year today.  In all likelihood, they were holdovers because of where they were caught. I've heard nothing about any fish along the oceanfront where the migrating stripers should first appear.
I landed seven fish this evening.  These were all schoolies in the 12 to 18 inch range, typical of holdovers found in this location. The hot lure was an albino Zoom fluke mounted on a 3/8 oz. jighead. Best time was right before dark.
Within a week, I would guess that the fishing will break wide open.

First striper of the year for me!
