Bass Blitz
Sometimes it is nice to be lucky.
I went out for a solo bass trip Saturday evening and other than easily netting some bunker, had no action whatsoever. Around 6:30 at the rocks I decided to head home as I had a decent run ahead of me around the hook back to the Navesink. On the way in I came upon what almost looked like sharks on a pod of bunker, huge explosions. No sharks, just huge bass. 30-40lbers. One of the more amazing things I have seen. Even better, there wasn't another boat within 2 miles of me. I caught quite a few on a yellow pencil popper, then when they would go down I would hook up almost instantly on a live bunker. The first fish was over 48" and so full of bunker it looked like it would pop. I'm about 95% C&R so all fish were revived and released. Just an amazing night that I lucked into on my ride in. It is tough to take pictures when you are alone, but I tried. Also I shot some video of the blitz.    Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH-uGgdzZbU

Re: Bass Blitz
Nice find!
We had a day like that up here (martha's Vineyard) a few weeks ago, but with much smaller fish. So much fun to find a bunch of bass on top!

Re: Bass Blitz
Thanks! It is rare here in NJ to have some fish all to yourself, especially on a weekend!
Got this one last night after work on a bunker. Only problem was it bit me on the hand when I was reviving it hard enough to draw blood... Payback!

Re: Bass Blitz

Re: Bass Blitz
Good luck. There are still some nice ones down here. A 58 was weighed in yesterday.
I'm taking advantage of the nice weather and going sharking/bluefin scouting tomorrow.
