Bait In The Back

[Billfish715]

I was walking on our now vacant dock (Boat is in winter storage.) when I looked down in the clear water and saw some bait fish. Since it was low tide during a super full moon, I was able to see them quite clearly and recognized them as peanut bunkers. I thought by now, that particular bait would have been long gone. There were also small killies and some spearing swimming around as well. When I pulled out some sunken plastics with a long handled crab net, the plastics and attached weeds were covered with grass shrimp.

With all of this bait around, it's no wonder that there is still quite a variety of fish being caught in the rivers and bays. It also means that the migrating coastal fish might hang on a little longer because of the available food that still hasn't made its way out to the beaches.
