Puget Sound

2-4 this morning. Iโ€™ve been putting a lot of hours in since late July, so the freezer is looking pretty good. Kept the first fish of the day but let a second keeper go to look for a better fish. Had a couple more shots but was coho Houdiniโ€™d by both. Tomorrowโ€™s another dayโ€ฆ

Last weekend the beach I had fished had millions of sandlance all over the place and literally hundreds if not thousands would be littered throughout the sand after getting stranded at low tide. Something Iโ€™ve observed before but never in the numbers Iโ€™ve seen.

Came back to the same exact spot 5 days later and not one sandlance seen! Of course it comes the day I bring some sandlance patterns. Iโ€™m not well versed in bait behavior. Anyone know how there could be millions in shallow water and then nothing the next week? I assume they all headed deep. Maybe for feeding?

Without knowing their lifecycle, sounds more like spawning behavior to me.
