Bait

[FlukeU2]

Question. I don't striper fish so I want to know when I go out tomorrow how much bait do I need? How many clams and how much fresh bunker and frozen bunker?

[shrimpman steve]

How many guys going?

I burn through a bushel of clams for two or three guys.

[FlukeU2]

There will be 3 of us. So just clams. Is it to early for bunker

[shrimpman steve]

I did hear of fish caught on chunks

Can't hurt to buy a few fresh bunks

[FlukeU2]

Ok thanks so for the 3 of us at least a bushel

[Gerry Zagorski]

Bushel should be more then enough for 3 guys...

You should also be making sure you get the entire Clam out of the shell when you shuck them including all the snot and strings. Stripers love the snot and strings.

Take the empty shells and crack them over the side to put some additional scent in the water too.

Dont expect to just show up at a bait store and say " give me a bushel of clams."
Call today and reserve one before they sell out.

I would bring bunker net if any of you guys know how to through one.
If not buy some bunker or at least bring some snag hooks with you.
If all else fails call Joey da Fish and he can give you pointers on the art of the troll.

Thanks. Yeah put in the call to Pete got clams on hold for us and thinking about getting half dozen bunker and then see if we can snag some more out there.

It's my turn I guess Shrimp Man is off the hook and I got the target on my back
