Excellent news Mike!

Eggs are gone.  Either hatched or eaten.  Will try again with the next spawn.

How old were the eggs in question?  Honestly the video...I can't see 'em...
 

I saw them on Sunday.  The could have been there a little longer.  I was checking nightly, didn't look very silver

Had another spawn tonight, much better eggs count.  After looking at these eggs, I think I missed the date a little bit on the first spawn and probably missed the hatch.

Mike, try and get us a pic of the next egg laying!!!  Great news to see these guys doing they're thing.

Pelagically yours,
