Saw this at RP last Easter. Whales grubbing the bottom in skinny water for BIG sandeels. Thought that it was a sign of a banner season. Didn't happen.

Sand Eels don't mind the cold water...they're the first to come and the last to leave...

Wow!! I have never seen any sand eels up our way Spinn, that is cool. I was very close to taking a ride to the beach on my way home from work yesterday too, looks like I should have.

Yeah it kinda surprised me as well. I know that last season the Whales/Tuna were feeding heavily on the just a coupla miles offshore. Part of me really wants to try to catch cod off the B-water today. Took a ride by the beach this morning b4 work and the birds were present but not diving...

They were defineately eels. I was watching the gulls slurp them up like a kid with a strand of spaghetti.
