Underwater pictures

[wahlie]

cool Eben those are bay anchovies? very cool... The camera is an olympus waterproof. They have a newer model that is 12mp and only runs about 230 bucks. They are ok cameras considering they are waterproof but the shutter speeds are very slow. Takes a while to snap a pict... being underwater, that's tough.. a lot of blurry images... Toby, i got some good picts of the bay anchovies. They were schooling around me like crazy. will post them tonight.

TOBY,

I am catching the same fish in my minnow traps .
A few last year , more this year . A 1st I thought they are small tom cod . But after 2 years & no one is catching them . They look like Cod .
They die easy . If i throw them in with the mummies , they are the 1st to die .
But the Fluke slam them when I put them on my jig .

I found some videos of pollock on You Tube by searching pollock fish

I don't think the herring-like fish are anchovies (aka rainbait or white bait).

Google "Fishes of the Gulf of Maine" and you can find descriptions of just about anything that swims our waters.

Look like juvie pollock... Definitely some kind of gadid, i think pollock is as good a guess as any from the pics. The other ones look like juvie sea herring.

I adjusted Toby's pics and found a comparison pic.
Tough to tell.
