Stripers: Guide Jeremy Seabolt, reports, “We are back to fishing most every day. Fishing has been good when pulling large herring on boards. We have lots of nice hybrids showing up in big numbers, and it’s also that time year to catch a trophy-size fish. We will start following fish to their spawn grounds. Going into April, we will start pulling big baits as we look for the bigger fish. We will also start throwing on shallow points and humps with Red Fins. It can be fun as the herring start running the banks in the middle April. Crappie fishing has also been off the charts. To me, April is the best time to catch big crappie on Nottely. Minnows have been catching the most fish so far.
