Probably for striped bass so there’s a limited window when you’ll see them. Should be showing up soon when the bass follow the alewives up the rivers.

Oooo. I'll keep an eye out. I like that they might be harbingers of spring.

Mostly feel bad that Encore might have taken away their special spot.

You can time striper season in the bays and harbors to when the water warms up to 55-65 degrees, so it's best in mid spring and mid fall. I have more experience with this in Narragansett Bay than the Mystic or Boston Harbor though.
