Sandy Bay was filthy with macs on Sat. PM, skittering to and fro, all over the surface around the buoy between the breakwater and Straitsmouth, with birds chasing; but I'm sure that it wasn't being motivated by predatory fish. I recall seeing the same thing this time last year. I don't know what drives it, but presumably it has to do with the season.
Anyway, I jigged up several, which was very easy to do, and swam a couple of them for an hour or so off of Land's End, but no joy. In retrospect, I probably should've stayed in Sandy Bay, and grabbed a bunch for freezing and lobstering next summer!
