They usually show up mid to late august on the back/race etc. halfbeaks no doubt. More common than you think, but usually you don't see them right in the surf unless the wind is onshore with predators under them.

Hi Rich, we get them in the canal alot in the fall. Some years way more prevalent than others. Be out your way soon going out for two weeks vacation as of Friday so if you see the Senior Angler tell him I will be stopping by with hopes of sitting down and shooting the sh!t about the old days. Can't wait.

Why even try.........

The old fart, I meant Senior Angler, was reading over my shoulder Flap. He'll be around unless the Large start being around, then he'll be no more than a shadow in the night.

Yea.. had those in the ditch a few years back in such abundance that the bass wouldn't take plugs... I put on a Silver Glitter needle with a black back and nailed 'em... no one else could hook up  love it when it works out.  |

My Fish book calls them "Saury". The first one I ever saw was barfed up by a big blur. The next one was chased out of the surf 2AM at the Race. I saw it at my feet and thought that someone had lost their knife. I picked it up and jumped when it wiggled. Common according to the book.
