To Clam or To Bunker That is the Question

[xperks22]

Heading out tomorrow and can't decide what i should bring bushel of clams or bunker. I would like to hear everyones opinion on what has been consistently producing the past couple days in RB. I prefer to bait fish so i won't be trolling although i have heard the troll bite is hot ! Let me know what you guys think.

I only use bunker that I net and haven't found any so far (as of Tuesday). We tried clams one morning with very little success, switched to trolling last Sunday and Tuesday and landed 20 and 26 keepers respectively in 5 hours of fishing. I'll be out tomorrow looking for bunker to net and live line, if I can't find any, it'll be back on the troll. Good luck.

Yes
Gonna give it a shot

I would prefer fresh bunker(no frozen or store bought) over clams but clams work well to just have to continue chumming them through out fishing to keep them around the boat. We had today three man limit in two hours on clams today as we couldn't find bunker. Good luck

If you can find fresh bunks use them. If not, have clams as a backup plan. My experience has been a bass will take a fresh bunker chunk over clam any day. I've sat between PBs that were soaking clams catching nada while bailing fish on chunks.
