The past few years I spent way to much time and $$$ chasing bunker. That will end this year unless they show up in my harbor. I'll just stay closer to home. I never troll but I do run around to different areas, I may just stay within a few miles of the home port.

So stop chasing bunker. I called it quits on the bunker after ARK Bait cleaned out the upper bay. I went to eels at night and 3 way eels in the daytime. Pulled Montauk Bunker spoons on wire and lead core and started to fish Brenton Reef and Anawan. Lots of fish at all the usual places.
Don't get me wrong, I love livelining bunker. Nothing is as exciting as when the bunker start their nervous dance and a big bass blows up on the surface. I just saved a lot of time, aggrevation and gas by using other methods.
Jimmy, try livelining Scup. Works great and you have double the fun. Once catching the Scup and then catching the Bass on the Scup.
