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.

I've chased bunker less than 4 times last year. I'm 90% eels. And spend most of my time in Newport and Narr. Its all doable when gas is less than $4. If its $5, that changes the story.

Well, YOU were the one who said he spend a lot of time and money chasing bait. Maybe it wasn't bunker you were chasing.

No boat, back in the suds.
