How is everyone doing . too many pickerel in my shore spots a few decent prespawn fish. What is everyone else seeing . Thinking fish should move up on to beds within the next week or two before the next full moon
The few bass I caught were on spinner baits and drop shot outside of spawning pockets

Have gotten two LMB over 3 pounds so far (including the one in my new profile photo), so I can't complain.
The water warmed up very slow in some places, I think, so the bite was off, but it's getting more consistent. I was at the Charles in Waltham last Sunday and the water in Purgatory Cove was 64 F.

I've been catching many pickerel this spring, too. The largemouth bite has been picking up for me the last few outings with many fat pre-spawn bass. Today, I snagged a river herring while bass fishing in the Charles River basin, which is a good sign for stripers!
bite is picking up. Caught a 4.1 yesterday on whopper plopper. Caught some in the afternoon on shallow crank bait. I have also caught a ton of pickerel this spring. Between yesterday morning and afternoon caught 17 bass. 8 in the morning and 7 afternoon.
4.1, 17 bass
your killing me man, I haven't caught sh*t. Water level is high and cold. I watched some video on the whopper plopper, love the action, gonna get me one. Thank you 
It's been a good year so far. SMB bite since March was very good in Plymouth & Cape Cod.
Moving to LMB waters now. Like other members, Pickerel outnumber LMB significantly.
I find water temps in most waters I fish are 57.x - 59.x.
Best SMB, LMB, and Pick this season are all north of 3 1/2 pounds.

It's Been one of my best springs in recent memory. I've caught a lot of quality fish in the 3-4 lb range. Larry and sally. Throw a jig and you will get them. Fished both days this weekend. Saturday was an all out fish all day type of day. Sunday was an 8 boat tourney at singetary. We didn't do great. Couldn't find the big ones but we caught a few fish. Every team had a limit. And the winners weighed in 17+ lbs. And there was a tourney there the day before. All of my fish yesterday were on a jig. Some gators were caught too
