Haven't noticed spikes yet, I will go look again.  They are very cool,
never thought I would be getting into pikes!

Sandy shore, lots of dark brown leaves on the bottom, along by some logs.
They were specifically very heavy in the leaves, and along the log.  I
didn't realize what they were until I got them back to the boat, or else I
would have gotten more.  As it is I have 6, 3 males and 3 females it looks
like (2 strong dorsal spots and the third is developing some as well).
Sent 3 others home with Karen Randall as will.

Thanks
Kathy
