Baitfish?

[mayday1019]

I was fishing from shore last night and could see a number of small baitfish breaking in schools along the water. They were only about an inch to an inch and a half long and from a distance almost resembled freshwater shiners.

Were these fish even big enough for a striper to be interested in eating or are they too small? Are these Peanut Bunker I've been reading about?

Thanks!
