New to the site this is my first post. Headed out last night from Sewaren around 4:30 found bunker right away for the first time this year. Loaded up and headed to the fishing grounds. the bass and blues(not many) were chasing schools of bunker. we set up and it was none stop action until the tide topped out, around 9 pm. we ended up will 20 plus bass and 1 bluefish. Bass were mostly in the 30" to 34" class with a couple of unders.

Very nice! Did the blue have any size to it? I got one the other day and it was a rat

Not very, about 5 lbs, Last week I got a bruiser 12+lbs. Saw some leaping out of the water after bunker last night. Thought we would be harassed a lot more. Lost a couple of hooks on the way in. Water was 66 degrees, I think they will become a lot more active in the coming week.
