Nice read. Almost couldn't get past the pic of the weakie to read the story. She was nice, any estimate of what she weighed?

[SharkHart]

Thanks, that one was weighed and it was a tad over 14

Every year I worry we wont see the females like that again. Last year was bad more in numbers up to around 5 or 6lbs but nothing like that. That is an awesome catch.

"As we walked closer it became clear what it was, a large school of adult bunker was slowly flipping and flopping their way south about 50 yards off the beach? Adult bunker in NJ in the fall was a bit of an oddity, seeing them days before December was just unheard of, could these bunker have brought big bass with them as they often do during the spring run? A snag treble tucked inside my tackle bag was tossed over to my friend who went to investigate the school, the snag rig was taken after a few minutes of live lining a bunker, bluefish. It seemed the new found bait did bring at least something with them. As the morning wore on more and more schools of bunker turned up and soon they were just about everywhere. We made a move about 5 miles north later after lunch and found us more schools of bunker. The flat ocean and mild day and signs of bunker now had lots of fisherman out, there was a decent fleet of boats working the schools about 2 to 3 casts at first the only thing we saw from the surf was an occasional gator bluefish or a chomped in half bunker. But it wasn’t long before a question was answered, a surf angler casting a treble into the bunker schools sunk his hook into the back of large striped bass that appeared to be in the high 30lbs when it was drug onto the beach, the big fish were in fact here with the bunker. The remainder of the day produced no big stripers for the group of surf anglers but later that night when I checked the internet websites there were a fair amount of reports of large stripers caught 20-35lbs for a few boat anglers working right out in front of us. The following morning was a bit of a disappointment, the 6 to 10 class of bass were there working on sand eels but the schools of bunker and bass and blues with them were no where to be seen, vanished as quickly as they materialized the previous day."


Adult bunker 50 yards off the beach. You folks don't know how lucky you are. Thanks for the fish tales.

Liked the part about where your friend fell into the water. These things happen you have to have a backup plan. Good deal that you had some dry clothes. You don't want to walk away when the fish are biting.

Agreed. Every year I think we will see the bigger ones and it hasn't happened in numbers since 2008.
