>>Have you considered that maybe the hatchlings hide out in little "puddle ponds" nearby that would be lower salinity, then as young adults move into bigger waters with higher salt
Diamondbacks are doing that on Hatteras Island, NC. Last time I was there(late '05) I was finding them in ditches/small ponds about 200-300 feet from the main beach all the time. I caught about 10 in one ditch only about three feet deep. If you're anywhere around that area(you might have posted a few places down) you might want to try checking out the population there.
