I was fortunate enough to be in the "right place at the right time" Sunday eve last weekend at IBSP.Lots of anglers fishing,very few catching.We just happened to pull up to some nice looking water and 1st cast game on!6 bass between me and my bud 30-40lbs. All on pencils.Kept one to weigh for the cup which was eaten by many, and released the rest.
Were they there for awhile? And just nobody getting to them? Or did they turn on when we arrived? Dunno.
Lasted about 2 hours with 60+ anglers eventually working the blitz.
What was nice was the fact that there were alot of releases of the larger fish,and everyone worked it well together.No mugging,no crossed lines, no BS as is so often associated with Jersey springtime blitz/bunker fishing.At least where I was.
Quite a fun evening
