Default Re: Gannets Over the Bay

I've seen gannets diving on bait during the fall striped bass run but this was ridiculous. There were thousands of them. The videos give you a good idea about what it looks like but to actually be there was like being at a National Geographic event! They will be around for awhile as long as the bait is like it is and until Mother Nature tells them it's time to head to their breeding grounds.

In any event, the people at the Littoral Society have said that there are more gannets this year than they can remember and a lot has to do with the regulations regarding Raritan Bay bunker boats.
