Reports of allot of bunker...
 

In CT waters. Norwalk/Bridgeport as well as North shore of LI.

yeah baby, won't be long now :humpty:

Ok let me preface this report by saying it is 2nd hand, but a fisherman friend told me that a couple of days ago he was going over the Jamestown bridge and saw "a school of pogies 2 football fields long" heading north. I know they have been on the north end of Long Island for a couple of weeks now so it's possible. Anyway......it's time!! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

FINALLY!

Well were they pogies or bunker? :hee:

Menhaden.:humpty:

Seriously, when I first moved here it took me a while to figure out that most fish had 3-4 names :uhoh:

Great news, I hope they migrate to the cape!

PJJ

those were bass ><><

the pogies enter thru sakonnett River / feed in MHB & then come out >>head west into upper Narragansett bay ;;:wid:

:drool::drool::drool:

Bugfish!!!

Bunker are definitely around the east end of Long Island. I just received word of the first weakfish @ 15 lbs taken by one of the commercials!

pogies, menhaden, bunker = same species

crunchies

was out yesterday- saw a small pod of bunker in the Thames River (new london, ct) near the I-95 bridge...........

Several tackle shops reported pogies in the bay yesterday.

I heard the bunker been seen in good number in the fish traps off ****

I believe I saw the same

Saw them myself, the Bay is loaded with bunker right now...There everywhere.......

Does anyone know the regs in RI on using a small gillnet to gather bait?

Thanks.

Well I would not have beleived it if I did not snag them myself, But I snagged 2 yesterday in a Bay down on the cape of which I have never seen Bunker before, BRing it on!!!! YEEE HAAa

There is full size bunker all over the Cape.

I know what i'm doing next weekend...

Me too!

Maybe all that wind and weather had something to do with it.

I hope you give George Bush credit for this.:hihi:

Nice days ahead, looking forward to the results and the war stories!!

I can't wait to get out there this weekend. Is a castnet effective for getting bunker as well?
