SEA LICE

[SolOmoN]

Whats the deal with the schoolies inside the hurrican barrier up in Providence. Some have lice and some do not.... Is this because the ones with the bugs swam their ass' off to get there from the big pond or can lice sustane over the winter?

Those are indeed fresh arrivals, sea lice come from the sea not the providence river. The color of those fresh run bass will also be a lighter than the winter over fish which have a much darker back......

That's not sea lice my friend.
That's regular ol' head lice.
All the school kids in Providence have it.

Thanks for that.... now my next question is...... if the smaller schoolies are up this far and finding their way is it safe to assume(iknow i know) that some of the estuaries will begin to populate as well?

To me sea lice mean the fish just came in from the deep ocean as opposed to a river or hanging in an estuary or bay ....

Those fish head up there because its warmer and yes they will also head up into the estuaries, you have warmth and food ....thats where the fish go. Acually there are fish at various spots in the bay now.

Not that uncommon to find lice hanging out "up in the warm spots".
