Fall Stripers? Don't chase the birds or the bloody bunker pods.

[Sea Run Hunter]

After spending several hours chasing birds to pods of bait that looked like blood baths from the young blues. We trolled the 3 mile line until we found a bunker pod. The pod was moving slow but steady (not being chased). We put away the gear and followed the pod until it split. Hello Fall Striper Season...One for the board...The rest released for another day;)

BTW: Scales of Justice -- Just a meal, not a murderer.

The Madd Bunker Snagger. You know I love the snag and drop. Light tackle with the conquer. Rod like a wet noodle. It's an evening bite. North_Ave... Halfway to line...

Catching eels by the fire. Rigging them for Striper Candy Rigs. Caught 3 trout as a bonus.
