Haven't seen many 8-10" coho shakers off the beaches recently, most are larger then that. There are some blackmouth that size though.

As Curt mentioned, there is lots of bait this year between juvenile herring and sandlance.
I fished a beach last weekend before the MA 9 closure that had schools of sandlance like I haven't seen in years.
