I have been having one of my worst seasons in years in my backbay kayaking forays. No keepers in a month. (I have been seeing dolphins on most paddles during this past month.) What I have yet to see is the usual bunch of peanuts getting attacked but instead the dolphins are herding and foraging on very small three inch "white" fish, too thin to be peanuts, shaped more like spearing. I have watched a couple of boats throwing cast nets REPEATEDLY in the same general area, where in most years they would make a few throws, load the baitwell and off they would go, (and hopefully offer me a few on the way by, lol.) I have started to go out less, and using our tandem for fun instead, but hoping that the snappers will be here soon for livelining.
