For those of us not fortunate enough to be in a climate that does not require winterizing our boats, I am curious as to folks launch dates in various parts of the country. Up here in Boston, I shoot for first or second week in May depending on long-term forecast. Those early fishing days can be very cold given the water is barely above 50 degrees...right now the NOAA buoy off Boston reports 41.4 degree water temp.

Welp I'm being kicked out of my boatel on the 30th which is when my winter storage agreement is up. So I'll be on the water heading to my slip day after tomorrow.

Same here end of April or beginning of May. The first fishing of the season will be bass or rock fish. That starts the last week of May or the first week of June, shortly after that black sea bass. I use to go in early April 1st but there's no fishing so no hurry.

Do ever find yourself boating anywhere near the bridge collapse. OMG what a tragedy. I'm just south of there, I try to stay away from B'more as much as possible. Horrible what happened. These freighters come and go daily year around. I'm surprised there haven't been more accidents. We did have the cargo ship run aground a year or so ago, bay pilot was texting in that case. Costly expense.

We are fortunate enough to fish year round in the northern gulf. The wind can be a problem during the winter and a lot of boaters don’t start fishing until May. I have been doing some projects on my Sailfish over the winter and should be completed in a couple weeks. I have neglected my boat for the last 3 years because I was running charters on another boat. This year I’m not chartering and fishing my boat again. Stay tuned for some fish pics.
