they made it to MV  Yesterday was the first time I saw them in probably 10+ years. Not a huge school but it was fun to see them flippin on the surface. If they stick around till the fall...it could get fun, real fun. |

Has anyone seen bass mixed in with those menhaden when the net is pulled? Or do bass get out of the way?

Could these be the adults of the peanut bunker of two years ago that we were loaded with, or is that way over the life cycle ?????

Life Cycle
Sexual maturity begins just before age three, and these fish spawn from March to May, and again in September and October. Larvae of .4-1.3 inches appear in the Chesapeake Bay in large numbers during May and June, with a smaller influx in November.
The larvae use the brackish waters and fresh waters as nursery areas. Here they metamorphose into juveniles and grow rapidly.
By the fall, the young menhaden quadruple in size to reach 1.6 inches to 7.3 inches. The young-of-the-year leave the estuary in late fall and join the schools in southward migration.
Menhaden reach a maximum length of 15 inches, feeding on both phytoplankton and zooplankton.
