Those do look like bay anchovies, Scoob. We used to get a lot of them around Montauk--usually among the first, along with mullet, of the so-called "white baits" of the early fall run. On LI, the Atlantic silverside is called a spearing.

I think it's a sign that the water is still abnormally warm for mid-October around the east end.
