While fishing at St. Marks this past Saturday, a school of hundreds of little fish swarmed around the boat. Probably no more than an inch or two long. Flashy, reflective and purple-ish in color? So many excited at the surface that it sounded like rain. Are these small menhaden?

Don't remember ever seeing one before so I dunno.


Thanks in advance.

Maybe glass minnows ?

There were many schools of glass minnows around on Saturday, even up East River.

Sounds like glass minnow also known as "rain minnows" because well you know now. They are a favorite baitfish for spanish mackeral.
