          Googled 'Pilot' Mackerel. Found this link.
          Is this what is being seen?

            I think the "pilot" mackeral are the first ones that show up =
in the
            spring.  I could be wrong.  I've seen this strange kind some =
other years,
            but only a few, and always late in the season.  This year =
there are lots
            of them.
