Opening day is April 18th this year. IMHO - I think many Rock will still be heading up the bay around that date.
We might see a good start - then a little lag during spawn - then good catching again as they head out.
Trophy season should last into 2nd week of May - barring a huge warm up of water temps. It takes a lot of sunny ,warm days to heat up the spring bay water.
If we get decent amount of bait from Bay Bridge to Solomons area - there should be plenty of good fishing.
Good for fishermen but bad for overall big Rock population.
