This past weekend when I was fooling around the marina waiting for my buddy to show, I decided to put on a tiny kastmaster and have some fun with the little snapper blues that were seemingly everywhere. I moved around a little, and in one particular spot I would get follows from some fish I have never seen before. They were a little bigger than the snappers, maybe 5-6 inches long, with very distinct thick vertical black and white stripes. I have never, ever seen these at the marina in all of my years. Any ideas what they are?

Oh yeah, this was near the mouth of the Bass River on the Cape.
