glass minnows

[calcutta37]

was on the lake sunday and saw something that i haven't seen before was just wondering if anyone else happen to see it. while leaving west cove and entering into the lake there were schools of what looked to me like glass minnows but not real sure and when i say schools i mean hundreds of thousands schools as big as houses the birds were diving on them and the only thing we could catch under them were hard heads. does anyone know if trout eat those they are really small?

Throw a mirrodine.......that's the ticket

I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago while wade fishing. In 1-2 feet of water there were thousands of them. Flounder were jumping out of the water at them, but would not hit anything I threw. The water was black with those things.

Scoop some of them up. I have seen a lot of baby pogies lately. They look like tiny shad. When the flounder get turned on to those they are hard to catch. I like a small spoon or a 1/8 oz rattletrap, a mirrodine works too.

baby pogies

pogy fry

not skrimps speckd

[BArmand]

I don't think they were pogies because they were skinny like a minnow, not broad like a pogie. Much darker than pogies. Whatever they were the fish would not bite under them.

Throw a cast net. Bait up a perch hook. Hold on !

match the hatch!

Me and Gerald got into a bunch of them that were being hit by Flounder. We threw everything we had at them and no Flounder would hit our lures. They were hitting just the glass minners.
