BF, are those blues? Look like bunker, swimming with their mouth open,

BigFish 07-26-2007 06:33 PM

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!

cool photo's but i don't see a big fish popper ripping through the school :huh:

BigFish 07-26-2007 06:36 PM

I would have if I had had one....was with the family....no rod with me!!!:bc:

blue oyster 07-26-2007 06:52 PM

say it ain't so , no rod stashed in the trunk , under the car seat , a pocket fisherman in the glove box ,even a neatly coiled hand line stashed in the pockets :crying: never leave home without it , the shame :hs:

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.

UserRemoved1 07-26-2007 07:09 PM

Backbeach Jake 07-26-2007 07:43 PM

MassBass 07-26-2007 07:47 PM

HookLine&Sinker 07-26-2007 07:56 PM

you know what they were chaseing?

patpatriot 07-26-2007 08:23 PM

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

BigFish 07-26-2007 08:39 PM

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:

BigFish 07-26-2007 08:40 PM

Those were taken from up top on the pier looking down in the water...no underwater camera.:)

NIB 07-26-2007 08:41 PM

Rockport24 07-27-2007 08:48 AM

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:
