Pogies up the wazooooo
A couple of friends of mine were snagging pogies on lead heads that you normally attach a rubber shad to today. There was an enormous amount of them. A flyrodder also landed a few on a fly. Needess to say the bite stopped a half hour before I arrived(for the bass), se la vie, but my buddy caught a 24"er on his first cast. The pogies were slurping up the sandeels like it was the last supper.

The few southern areas I've been to this year have a ton of pogies in them. Bodes well if they stay around and ARC Bait doesn't suck em up out of Narragansett Bay. The inner islands have had pogies floating around them and most of the harbors in Narr. Bay have pogies in them.

I fished Osterville area last night. They were so thick in there you could walk across 'em. Saw a few fish bust em up, not many and out of reach.

i am questioning that myself... im pretty sure their diet consists only of zooplankton and other very small "debris" that is in the water column... |

I am no expert at this stuff. The pogies were in the same area that was loaded with minnows (silversides) and sand eels. They were slurping off the surface, just barely breaking water, and finning well beyond daybreak hours. I assumed thats what they were feeding on.

Me neither, it wasn't meant as a personal attack... . I have to learn how to post nicely -  -
I did read somewhere, (nothing official) that as juvee's, they can selectively feed as opposed to adults who primarily filter feed. Based on my own experiences, from peanuts on up, I've always seen them swimming with their mouths wide open...so I'm sold to the fact that they're filter/only. ... . but it's GREAT to read about all this in-coming bait!!!!!!!!! |
