peanut bunker or eels?
Hey guys, I have kind of a newb question, up here on the North Shore the peanut bunker get in pretty thick starting around now and of course I have an assortment of smaller profile things to throw when they are around, BUT, for the cows, are eels and slugglos and the like after dark still the ticket this time of year? Or should I be fishing peanut bunker immitations at night also? I figure eels are always the ticket..but was wondering what you guys think.

Stick with the eels, sluggos, surfhogs at nite. If you hit a blitz during the day try some smaller wood, but the cows will always single out the eels.

The presence of peanut bunker is way overrated IMO. Everyone gets excited over the peanuts, which is cool, but the eels at night will consistently take the largest fish. Most of the peanut blitzes are small and medium 7#-15# or so fish. The numbers can be big, but I'll take one large over 100 smalls every time. |
It's not the bait

stick with eels and sluggos and be patient. lots of small bait around my area right now and I took two high teen/low twenty pound fish last night, one on a sluggo and one on an 18" riggie.

I agree that eels are the way to go, but I disagree on the effect of the presence of bait. Find the bait (peanuts or whatever) and you'll find fish. The big ones may not be chasing the bait to the surface, but the bait will bring the bigger fish around.
