tons of bait but what ?
 

boston haabah was loaded with small silver bait yesterday but I could not see what they were , did anyone see what they were ? forgot to bring weighted treble hook.

maybe herring ?
timing would be about right

Like This???

They were everywhere.
But I don't know what they are either.
I don't think they are peanut bunker, so my guess
is herring.

they did not act like peanut bunker and I thought the herring fry drop in the fall , they did not look that big from what I could see , there sure was not any stripers bothering them .
