Big Bunker Cometh
 

We're going to have a run of big bunker, close to shore, and fairly soon.

when joe,,,,when

inquiring minds want to know because there in NO bait in soco

Yea, a few hour window would be nice...also a few good rocks to stand on.

I really don't have the time to waste wondering around at night.

-spence

Between July 20 and July 29

WHY?????:shocked:

dont forget your big bunka !

joisey bunka?"??

Yes, the Jersey bunker - I think this year we see it. I could be wrong -but I have independent sources that confirm movement of big bunker, incrementally north in places where they have not seen it in recent years either.

They are heading ure way...along the s shore here northwards...

If there was ever a time to get religous, this would be one of those times.

I flew over new jersey, long island, block island and then right up naragansett bay yesterday- I was looking out the window really hard, and actually saw a bunker event going on from 30,000 feet in the middle of NJ...there was about 50 boats all in one little cluster :huh:

pencil poppers where doing the job in north jersey ...40" bass :sick:
while snagging them [ bunker] on trebles i had a hit & run of epic proportions but alas dropped ....:lurk: so Im waiting for the rematch in fall
:rotf2: it bent my 1084 over double and took line for 20-30 seconds

it's about time....:happy:

there is some pogys hanging around in the ditch,they come to the top in the morning.

Cluster
 

Nebe from 30,000 feet everything below is a little cluster, even 50 boats.:bl:

They're already here :faga:

Loaded for bear tongiht...

thanks joe :bsod: :wall:

knock em dead guys...

They've been here since late May. If there are some more on the way, its just additional fodder.

yes, they have been here since late maybut it has been almost impossible for the guys in the surf to get to them in the upper bay.

hopefully these fish coming will stay in the shoreline as they were doing in jersey

I have to point out that bunker do not follow the same migration routes as stripers.. if there are big bass and big bunker in NJ, chanases are that the big bass will move up to new england when the water gets too hot for their liking, but the bunker will either go up into the NJ inlets, up into raritan bay, or move out to deep water.

2 day total:
4 over 30lbs
4 over 25lbs
3 large lost
fish were feeding on adult bunker

Boat fish don't count. :devil:

those are great numbers but are they surf or boat fish CT. or R.I. Guys fishing from boats in CT. having large bunker is nothing new However large bunker along the R.I shore whould certenly be a change:bounce:

Will the bass leave big bunker schools for cooler water? I'm not so sure.

They may leave but how far? my guess would be montuck :huh:

Guys you may think you had them since May, but you guys Aint seen nothing yet, Trust me on this one! A joysey guy!!!!:drool:

those are surf caught fish :smash:
We will see some PBs broken, and the succesful fishers will be changing spots and tactics to capitalize on the bunker

Damn... good for you.

I would think bunker think like a bass. They go where the food is. If they aren't breeding, they're eating.

Maybe they'll end up at the mouth of the nasty, algae and plankton rich Narragansett Bay. There's still a massive school of them up there. I heard some incredible numbers in regards to how many tons are still in the Bay, maybe they'll join up if they're really coming up the coast.
