Some alewives made it to Mass too but the biggest myth in all of striper fishing is that the migratory bass are right on their heels. My logs show at least 30-45 days before keepers with sea lice are after the herring. Plus minus a few days depending on water temps and locations. Also excludes spots with holdovers....those holdover bass are ready to smash the new arrivals.
