Each year during the Fall Season, massive schools of peanut bunker, on thier migration to the south, leave the rivers and bays, invading the New Jersey beaches. I am not sure if this is an East Coast thing or if it's just a Jersey thing. Striped bass and other gamefish take advantage of this easy meal and beef up close to our shores. It's a great time to catch both the fish and the Free Live Bait!

Sounds good to me but I live in Virginia and do not do much, if any, saltwater fishing.

I know that this is stripper time in the Garden State so have fun catching those beautiful big fish.

LBH recently posted a video of these big schools, check it out. Cool stuff.

I had never seen that before. It's pretty neat to watch. They were making thier own little whirlpool with an eye to the storm and everything!
