interesting, those results seam right in line with what I've observed in the waters between boston and southern main.
just my opinion (and this is based on surf conditions, don't know much about boats), but I wouldn't get too focused on mimicking lobster or crabs. I've cleaned a lot of fish caught on bombers, needles, etc. that were full of lobster and crabs. lobster are so prevalent in big fish diets because they are one of the most available large baits (and one that does not require a lot of chasing) north of boston. they also don't require bass to leave the comfort of deep water to find. Macks are seasonal and fairly quick (tough to catch). I have only seen adult bunker a few times near shore up this way. I would concentrate on live (eels) or large slow moving offerings that work down along the bottom (needles and big, diving metal lips) and deep, rocky water if you want to target big fish.
i am in no way saying that bunker or mackeral won't work, in fact if you can get live or fresh ones I'd put my money on those taking big bass even if macks and bunker are not around.
