I was told there were pilot fish this past season in the NY bight area,,was this guy talking crazy or are they actually around this area..?

 

Used to catch them along with snappers in late summer as a kid.

Was fairly common but that was 100 years ago 

almost forgot about them

Could they have been banded rudderfish?

I commonly catch these in august w/ similarly sized snapper blues.

More than likely a banded rudderfish (they look very similar and get mistaken for each other all the time), but theres no doubt in my mind that there are some pilotfish around from time to time.
