Sea herring out side along the beach, gannets are having a field day, pogies have left the estuary where they were packed to capacity all spring and summer and are along the beach in small tight schools,( I haven't see a lot of peanuts yet) real hard to find now on a consistent basis.. Mackerel have returned in large quantities in both large and tinker size.. the river is full of herring and shad "rain drop" bait, schoolies are gorging on them, but big fish have disappeared..
the fall eel migration is under way, most of the eels I'm catching are large females heading out to sea, some of their sea run qualities are beginning to show. ( the jaws and fins change for their journey to the Sargasso sea)

still lots of sand eels as well.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
