The largest school of menhaden I’ve run across was off the beach. They were so thick and the school was so big the water was dark compared to the surrounding water. One throw and my livewell was full. Hope they stay schooled up in the area, I’ll be back!!
You must have a huge livewell! Any more than about 1/livewell gal I can’t keep them alive.
I’ve seen videos of menhaden so thick they’re pushed up on the surface over a quarter acre, nowhere to go down. Looks like a fish kill, but flopping over eachother.
