There is only one thing you can be sure of when you get sea lice and that is that there are a lot of fish holdover or fresh. Sea Lice are prolific on fish in tightly packed or large schools. They need a host and bass are one of the many species that they can be found on. I have seen schools of freshly arrived fish though on the Monomoy flats which have literally numbered in the thousands all rolling on the bottom in an effort to rid themselves of these pests. Fish we caught that day could be wiped of them and you would have half a handfull. Sea Lice, as far as my experience goes, mean a good number of fish are present, meaning a large school, that's all.
