Massive fish schools on Maryland tidal river
Went out to my local tidal river in Maryland yesterday and was seeing massive schools of fish on side imaging but unfortunately it was not translating to fish caught. I did end up with 49 crappie and a few yellow perch but there was no indication that the huge schools of fish were crappie. When you look at these screen shots notice that the boat was hardly moving so whatever these fish were they were moving pretty fast to make such clear returns. Any ideas what these could be? I was thinking shad but many of these pictures were taken in backwaters and not the main river where migrating shad usually are. Not to mention that although the water was pretty warm it is February and a little early for that run. Has anyone ever seen crappie moving in such massive and tight pods? Most crappie I ever see are in schools of 25 fish or so and not in massive numbers like this.
