What do you think? (Image from Jordan)
I caught this image last weekend on Jordan in the "S" curves. It looked to me like a large school of bait being stalked by a school of striper. I had no luck that day, but I have seen a LOT of bait and birds. Today there were many birds diving and working the bait fish - not just sitting around. I hope that means that there is an abundance of bait available for "our" predator fish. My wife caught three fish today at Ebenezer (schooled me!) and two were in the 12-13" class. One looked like she was full of eggs, but I suspect it was shad.

The reason I am asking is I am trying to learn to interpret what I am seeing on this TV. Thanks
Good info, but be careful on Jordan

This is valuable information, but would be illegal on Jordan. I read you are not allowed to alter the body ( cutting,cleaning, stretching) of regulated fish. This killed my idea for the "Fish Maximizer Length Enhancement Device" (TM ).
