Thanks for the reply and info. I don't miss them either, but for two things.
1. I haven't seen whites slurping them in any numbers since early June and that makes it harder to make bait in the mornings.
2. My understanding is those little buggers are a significant part of the food chain at UL. If their numbers are way down then everything has to hunt a bit harder to find enough groceries. That may be why the cats are feeding so much right now.
I remember times in other years in August when you had to hunt a lot to find cats in the daytime and this year they seem to be going crazy most of the day (and night from what you said)
On a similar note, I haven't seen a white over 8" since about the first of June either.
