Those are "cocktail blues" about 2-3 pounds each.....a big scholl of them was swimming in circles off the pier in Provincetown when I was down there a couple weeks ago! It was pretty cool to see!

Hate to break it you Larry but those are Menhaden, not "coctail blues"
they have been around the pier for weeks now. Look closely, forked tails, blunt head with red gills showing and mouths open. Definetly bunker.

Why even try.........

That's Bait!

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Either one = bait. Cool pix, thanks.

isn't that always the story when a school of fish swims by?

my favorite thing to hate is.. when ya decide to use the ocean for swimming and not fishing, and the shoals of 6 to 7 30+inch stripers swim right by your feet. and it's never just one or two. but four or five shoals go by.and there is always one you swear is a shark in the middle. and all you are thinking is "god damned mother f'in son of a biscuit. i don't have a rod."
