If you think the cudas are cool what gives with these fish.
Now if you don't happen to have a perfect match for the little cudas, you might want to kick it up a notch and try to match the hatch with these tasty offerings.
Anyone able to guess what these are? It won't be easy.

The answer made the paper -- even though it's wrong!
No to all so far.
However, the jig is up.
The answer is dealt with in an article on the front page of today's Providence Journal.
Out of sheer coincidence I had just finished sending off the pictures I've posted here to a state biologist when I got a call from the reporter who had been given my contact info from Tom Meade. We talked for a bit and as soon as I got my answer back from DEM, I shared it with the writer...only they put the wrong answer in the paper. They are Mackerel scad not Mackerel scud!
Poor little Decapterus macarellus don't even get the proper recognition they deserve. I had sent this fish base info over to the ProJo writer. For more info on these sub tropical visitors check out the fishbase site at http://www.fishbase.com/Summary/Spec...ary.php?id=993
They sometimes carry ciguatera poisoning so don't eat them if you catch them and let's hope the stripers don't eat too many of them either.
I'm off with the camera again, gotta find those tarpon. |

They do look a lot like mini yellowfins but I am going to guess either Atlanic Salmon or Cigar Minnows? |
