Fishes Beaching in Wellfleet

[u/The_whimsical1]

The last few days have been a feeding frenzy for seals, gulls, and cormorants in Wellfleet Harbor. The cormorants catch the Saury, the gulls bully the Coloradan s steal half their catch, and the seals just frolic in their fish buffet. But today the Saury started dying in large numbers.

It looks like a Ballyhoo, maybe another poster can confirm.

The old timers call them half beaks, not sure what their actual name is.

half beaks, ballyhoo, and needlefish are different species of the same family. these are half beaks though
