Nature abhors a vacuum and the absence of peanuts is being filled with one of the largest crops of bay anchovies (the most important non-migratory fin fish for forage) in recent years…albeit that they are dumping out of the ponds and bays a lot later than normal.

All the fish I’ve been filming as of late are gorging themselves on very large anchovies (maybe they have fattened up to jumbo size due to the lack of competition with the peanuts). The bass and blues are targeting small offerings and seem to be shunning big wood, large jigs and huge flies. Think small. Even elephants eat peanuts.

We had some recent years where all the waves were loaded with peanut and Striper tails ... Last 2 have been a let down .. Last year I heard peanuts were in tight in Revere and for my co workers it was party time .. This year I hear PI had them,, but not the the silly numbers and fish to go with them .. Earlier I don't recall seeing a peanut local for 10 yrs. anyway .. I think the answer is blowing in the wind .. I never saw and still don't see the big picture .. I can see in front of my rock .. thats it..
