IMHO - Tough to predict too far ahead due.
Much of our success has to due with how much rain we get - and how heavy the run off is.
Years with little rain sees the bay become more salty and fish like Spanish Macs move farther up the bay.
Years with heavy rains like 2010 - we see Carp at the Bay Bridge.
I think the early season should be good - far amount of big Rock - but they might leave early if warmer then normal weather continues.
I'm thinking late March - 1st week of April to be good for pre season trolling.
Once it opens on 21st - best fishing most likely will be the weekdays that follow.
Opening weekend often is tough due to heavy boat traffic.
Following weekend is Rod / reel - MSSA tournaments - very crowded again.
DNR surveys show good numbers of White Perch - hopefully they are correct.
Big Perch over 11 inches are awesome targets and great eating.
Now , let's keep our fingers crossed that no massive storms hit and muddy the bay. Nice , light all day rain is far better.
