Nature abhors a vacuum and the absence of peanuts is being filled with one of the largest crops of bay anchovies (the most important non-migratory fin fish for forage) in recent years…albeit that they are dumping out of the ponds and bays a lot later than normal.

All the fish I’ve been filming as of late are gorging themselves on very large anchovies (maybe they have fattened up to jumbo size due to the lack of competition with the peanuts). The bass and blues are targeting small offerings and seem to be shunning big wood, large jigs and huge flies. Think small. Even elephants eat peanuts.
