Those are "cocktail blues" about 2-3 pounds each.....a big scholl of them was swimming in circles off the pier in Provincetown when I was down there a couple weeks ago! It was pretty cool to see!

Hate to break it you Larry but those are Menhaden, not "coctail blues"
they have been around the pier for weeks now. Look closely, forked tails, blunt head with red gills showing and mouths open. Definetly bunker.

yeah mouths are open and you can see the marking right behind the gills, cool pics though, wondering why more people dont pick up some underwater cameras for some greta shots

I thought thats what they were but there was a charter guy there claimed they were blues......(I thought he was wrong!). Thanks for clarifying! Makes the pic even more cool! :btu:

isn't that always the story when a school of fish swims by?

my favorite thing to hate is.. when ya decide to use the ocean for swimming and not fishing, and the shoals of 6 to 7 30+inch stripers swim right by your feet. and it's never just one or two. but four or five shoals go by.and there is always one you swear is a shark in the middle. and all you are thinking is "god damned mother f'in son of a biscuit. i don't have a rod.":crying:
