Live Bunker... at what depth ?

[danno1]

Got a question when snagging bunker from a boat.

Once the bunker is snagged from the pack thats skimming the surface, usually my bait goes down most of the time and toward the boat.

Now I know that the big Bass usually are at the bottom. But I also know they are going after the school at the surface besides Bluefish.

If there are no bites after the bunker school passes, would you bring in the live bunker, follow the school, and place the bait around the school again, or just stay in the same place ( whether anchored or drifting) and wait for a hit ?

I guess my other question that is partly in the above is at what depth would you try to hold the bunker at if they are breaking the surface ?



Also, after you snag the bunker
