i am questioning that myself... im pretty sure their diet consists only of zooplankton and other very small "debris" that is in the water column...

they are filter feeders.

I am no expert at this stuff. The pogies were in the same area that was loaded with minnows (silversides) and sand eels. They were slurping off the surface, just barely breaking water, and finning well beyond daybreak hours. I assumed thats what they were feeding on.

Me neither, it wasn't meant as a personal attack... . I have to learn how to post nicely - -

I did read somewhere, (nothing official) that as juvee's, they can selectively feed as opposed to adults who primarily filter feed. Based on my own experiences, from peanuts on up, I've always seen them swimming with their mouths wide open...so I'm sold to the fact that they're filter/only. ... . but it's GREAT to read about all this in-coming bait!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't the least bit offneded. On the contrary I learned something new. Could it have been a worm hatch?
