Herring in SoCo???

[basswipe]

Every bluefish I've caught in the past week down my way has been coughing up 3"-5" herring.

they were not mullet or snappers that I know for sure.Have seen plenty of alwives before and would say that these to were alwives all of 8"to 10" easy.The only thing that makes me doubt it is the time of year.Maybe someone opened a pond or closed stream?Maybe they were very small shad?as odd as it is I still think herring.
