Dirty water bunker and balloon bass
^^ Beautiful fish, some quality fish are migrating into that river now. Like submarines, they silently cruise the bottom half of the water column. Most people have no idea fish that size are there almost year round. As long is the food is abundant, they stay for awhile... The problem is they are hard to catch because of this tendency to be in the lower half of the water, and the probability that most large fish travel solo, unless they're feeding on large bunker schools.
Here's a DW fish I was sent a pic of yesterday, right after the guys got it. They snagged bunker. Because it was rocky, they put the bunker out on a balloon, and got this fish. I tried that in a similar area last year, and was not successful. I still believe in that method, and these guys proved it works. :clapping::clapping:

Re: Dirty Water Anglers, REPORTS and pics
I guess those shrimp feed everything back there. Good job on the report. When to you start to catch bigger stripers and blues in the dirty water. Any weakfish?
