I am now on twitter.com/livebunker . I have an idea to keep everybody updated mostly when we get a delivery of bunkers in our marina. Maybe when I get better at it I will give updates. It basically sends text message and or email to all signed up to follow me.
Live bunker are still slowly making their way into the river and are tough to track down. Especially with the bass and blues spooking them. I found some bass pushing small pods in 4 feet of water up past the train tracks in Oceanport. Boiling bunkers on top and big bass swooping through from the bottom. I was more interested in netting the bunker for the tank which was next to impossible. Scott from Lex Lures was fishing from the shore a few hours earlier and said that he landed a bunch up to 27". He was using some of his 4" yellow pencil poppers. He makes and sells them himself. I have heard of some nice catches at night from the bridges and have seen a few boats worming Seabright bridges in the morning. Clams are working for almost a sure thing at roamer and up in the Reach Channel. Capt. Mark on the "Long Shot" has had a few exceptional charters last week.
One charter captain had a 6lb fluke in the river on bunker back. He succesfully released it.

ASA TOURNEY WON BY LOCAL
This week's ASA Striper Tourney held here at Bahrs Landing, ended with top honors going to Rumson local Capt. Phil Wum. Fishing on his brand new 24' Contender C.C. named "Tiffany Ann" along with mate and winning angler Mark Presto (Rumson) and his sister in-law Tara, they worked the foggy conditions on Saturday and weighed in a 38.45lb striper. Caught on live bunker fishing the Ambrose Channel. They won by almost 4 pounds. Many large fish were weighed in and released live in our marina. ....Guess where I was fishing today?? Special bonus of 1 pound was given to all who had a successful release. Some used their live wells and most used a specially designed live striper holding "tube" system. A much smaller field than past years which can't be because of the calm weather and decent fishing.
