It amazes me how different the reports are from state to state. This spring we had them in Cape Cod bay, all sizes, from 2" to massive 12" ones that were almost as thick as the american eels.

I agree Charlie it changes from year to year. This year it appears they are late to show up. I find that they don't like dirty water. The slate of bi-monthly storm systems we have had this spring could have kept them offshore.
^^^ Good point when the noreasters are raging its not exactly a good environment for them. What do they feed on does anyone know? algae?
Was thinking about the sandeels and the fall. Has anyone run into them yet in NJ. Tuna or offshore guys?
fnm I am starting to see them in moco. Very spotty so far up to 3". They have not really arrived yet but have snagged a few.
when I see evidence of sandeels, I put on an ava with a tail, preceded by a redgill teaser.
heard of, but not seen any evidence of SE's yet though....
Anyone have any idea when the sandeels will show up this year? Or is it only a fall thing for NJ?
maybe fall but I would hold my breathe
Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again
They finally hit our shores last week. It's a beautiful sight to see when they are washing up on the beach. These are the stomach contents someone posted on the net. Delish!
