Western Sound, NY Striped Bass on Peanut Bunker – 2003
The late fall journey into the local waters of the Western Long Island was quite successful. Andy and Rich used a technique common in the southern states to drive school size striped bass into a feeding frenzy. They took a baitwell full of live baby bunker (menhaden) and threw handfuls out across the surface. It took only moments for the fish to turn on and the action was incredible. They battled dozens of fish up to the mid-teens on very light tackle in depths of no more than 12ft. This technique can be used on any rocky point when schools of baby bunker are abundant.
