I am happy to see more bunker schools around in recent years. I'm not a bait guy, but I find nothing more satisfying than snagging a Bunker and live lineing it.

Happy Trails

My uncle told me stories years ago how the reduction boats would be right off the coast. They had spotter planes, and would come in an sweep up entire schools in a few hours. He would be standing there waving his arms and screaming at them when he was fishing from his boat. Of course there was nothing he could do, but it made for a great story. I'm glad he never carried a gun with him. There is a big diffeence now with the number of bunker around.
