Scup is the name for Porgy from about mid-way up the CT coastline - and from there up they are referred to as Scup. From mid-CT down the coast (LI, NJ, etc.) they are referred to as Porgy.

Same geographical delineation for pogie and bunker, although I hear bunker more and more from anglers up this way.

Once the bunker get south of jersey, the pogie/bunker reference starts to shift from bunker to menhaden, although I am not sure exactly where that takes place.
