How common is it to see about a million sandeels exploding on the beach on the cape with no bass around??
I ran into this somewhere in cotuit last night... millions and millions of sandeels all crammed up in teh corner of a jetty.. I plugged for a long time and then when I decided that there were no fish around I blasted my light into the water... I've never seen anything like it.. at least not in RI....

yup.............................
how about atlantic sea herring :smash:

thats whats goin on plum island right now, except theyre only 1" long.

yellow small bombers or mambos:)

maybe they were doing the nasty:humpty:.... Come to think of it I saw this same behavior with mumychogs in RI a few days ago... just baching themselves for no reason. :confused:

seaherring? I be they were there just to taunt you BM..:D

I was fishing at race point last year and saw the same thing i grabed as many as i could and fishied the whole weekend withe them and did great something must have spooked them or full moon

Eben, i ran into the same "problem" saturday ight. birds were diving but the fish didn't make a presence. maybe all the seals i saw had something to do with it.

Eben, there's lots of little sandeels around here right now - don't know if they're....uhhhh...doing the old mambo or not.

Saw scup driven up on the beach 4 nites ago too ;)

I fished Race Point lately and on one night the eels were passing through my legs for the whole tide non stop. I did manage 1 bass but it was a schoolie...
