I haven't seen a bunker of any age class on Brenton Reef in a month and a 1/2, maybe longer. And of course because of that bass have been almost non-existent there.
There's been some solid schools of bunker south of us as well as in the bay, but a month long drought just seems odd.
At this point, especially with reports coming in to the shop every day from Maine to Rhode Island from people fishing and hoping for fall runs that don't seem to be happening, I'm pretty convinced something is wrong.
Either we have a problem with the baitfish, or we have a problem with the stripers. Or both.
