I was fishing from shore on Sunday afternoon using sand worms. Nothing up at O'Sullivan's, so I moved down stream a bit to the Shelton/Stratfor border. Caught my first keeper of the year - just barely at 28.2 inches - and three other schoolies. The keeper damn near pulled me into the river and I got banged up a bit, nothing permanent. Snow boots are pretty damn useless on slippery rocks. Anyway, I was on the river from 3:30 - 6:30 so all in all a pretty good afternoon.

Congrats on the keeper! I finally got close, today, when I boated a 24 incher with a white spinnerbait in the flooded trees on the northwest side of Wethersfield Cove .

I'm still using my heavy duty surf gear, so I'm sure your 24 incher was a lot more fun to bring to the boat on your lighter equipment than my 28 incher was. But it is a good sign that the schoolies seem to be running on the larger size for this early in the year.
