Bunker Mania!!!!
Message:
After getting out of bed later in the afternoon Tuesday I decided to check out the forecast and local tides. Saw Black Rock Harbor low tide was 5:06pm and NWS was predicting a chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms with a few being strong to severe. I look at the radar and saw a storm up by the Catskills heading southeast in this direction but had a feeling it was just gonna miss Bridgeport. Got to the boat ramp just before 6pm and saw bunker jumping like hell! I tried playing with the XRW-11 and SP-9 a lot but only got 1 swirl and 2 explosions while slowly walking the dog with the XRW-11. Later I decided to try and snag bunker after the day I had catching the gator blue last year. No fish ever touched the live bunker I snagged. By the time it was almost 8pm and black skies with thunder and lightning were getting closer I hit the road. Saw thicker schools on the very surface being chased more out towards the boats and entrance to the harbor.

They are everywhere. There is just wayyyyy too much bait right now. I fished a few schools Monday afternoon, and was able to land a few cocktail blues on topwater. Had a livey and a head on the bottom and drifted the edges of a few schools. Had two decent runs but no hook sets. The larger stripers are still making their way east. I know a few guys out in the greenwich/stamford area that pulled in multiple 40+lb fish this past weekend.
