Mayworms - not sure if that is what I saw

[crabby and son]

Well, we are approaching the end of May and we had a full moon a little more than a week ago so it is time for May worms on the Chesapeake. That metamorphic stage of our oyster worms that causes swarms of wiggling pink worms under dock lights at night and some consternation among fishermen. Often striped bass and white perch are so gorged with the little morsels that they look like they are ready to explode if they eat just one more. Rob White sent us this picture of a swarm of May worms under his dock light on Cat Creek just of the Patuxent River.

Striped BassDespite may worm swarming; fishermen are catching some nice striped bass this week


This is from the DNR website. These worms hatch on the bottom and swim to the surface. They are 2-5 inches long and have small fins on their side.......Gary

That is what I have a problem with. I have a 9 year old Son that loves to read these boards. I encourage him to read but stuff like this, he doesn't need to see. Please..............Gary
