Finally lit up soild here.. (has been intermittent) One man, midnight run, alone in the cool north wind and light rain...3 hours results: quality fluke bait for 1/3 of the season (will go again tonight with the full crew and wrap it up hopefully)
(PS...the things that eat these are also around in real numbers too)
These are funny and interesting creatures...when the bite is on it is hot but when it is off you can dangle it in front of there nose, change jigs a doz times and play games till it drives you nuts. Then the bite switches on again and it is off to the races. They only live a year, spawn and die sometime afterward and fall to the bottom (not right away but within a couple months). The ones you catch I think have already spawned...if you don't catch them they just become bait anyway. Taste great fresh and make a fantastic strip bait or whole bait. (its the first step to landing a doormat)
It is fun fishing for these damn things to boot.
