Any bunker or herring pods out in the ocean?

[LilFisherman]

Might be heading out of manasquan inlet tomorrow if all goes well for some stripers/blues. Anyone see or hear of any pods of bait around? Saw them 2 wks ago while fishing the p.p. elsk tournament with loads of jumbo blues in them. Thank you!

We ran into two big pods of bunker last Friday evening, but nothing was on them. We were right out in front of the Shark River inlet.

A little far for you but for those out of Cape May some pretty good schools of medium sized bunker 180 degrees out of the inlet 3-5 miles on the way to McCries.

The Delaware Bay is loaded with bunker. We snagged 20 of them for striper bait the other day.

Captblock - did you catch any striper with that bunker?

There were herring (6 to 9) inches pods at EPH shoal at the latter part of last week. Use a sabriki shrimp rig to get them.

there were herring all over the ripps last night right at sunset .and the blues were eating them up!!!!!!

Yeah- what Rodfather said.
Ed H. Apparently there were some bigger critters eating those herring and blues. BITE!!!
