Springs were pretty late coming and winter came early in New England. I actually think that overall the falls are often a lot warmer and longer here. True, the streams can be cooler here, but rock bass are cooler water fish than a lot of other sunfish. They tend to live in the same places as smallmouth and thrive in that environment. I actually found smallmouth, rock bass and salmonids in the same streams quite frequently.
I don't know a whole lot about shellcrackers, so I don't know how well they would do here.
