Great pics for a new guy, have heard about them (Peanuts), but never seen. Hoping your past days will be re-lived this fall. I will be there, blitz or not!
Just an observation - not sure if true or not - but with the increase in adult pogies in the bay there was a decrease in the Peanuts. Now a decrease in the adults brings a return of the 'Nuts. Purely anecdotal but anyone have thoughts?

Tim Tim - Awesome shots
There is a trait in all of nature that promotes the survival and expansion of the species. It very well may be that the adult pogies swim in there own group to better protect themselves from predators that the peanuts would attract. You can also expand this to say that the adult pogies are best to protect their young if they don't swim separate.
As an aside man has not evolved ethically but only find better ways to do eash other in including nature. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
I've never found a correlation between adult and peanut bunker abundance. When i first started surf fishing in the 1970s peanuts and adults were both abundant. Then the peanuts just dissapeared for 15 years or so but adult menhaden were still present. I was out last evening and the peanuts were just about everywhere - but not all peanuts had game fish in the vicinity. This spring I saw more adult menhaden in my local waters than the past 20 years. Enjoy it while we have it because next season may be completely different - that's what I love about surfcasting - every year changes.
