The one on the top in the pic looks like a atalntic sea herring.they are generally much thinner than alewife's.They may be longer also. they usually show up here in NJ in late nov-dec. blue backs are for the most part smaller than alewifes an well... more blue.Also not as hardy for livelinen they don't hold up well at all.
