As we all know bait is the key to any fishery.The absence of herring does not help either.It is a crying shame that the younger generations may never get a chance to experience the inshore Bluefin tuna runs like we had 30 and 40 years ago.No whiting and ling in big numbers means no mud hole tuna run!When any fish migrates it is on a mission.Bait holds them for awhile but they will still migrate.Stripers are no different.They will migrate up the Hudson to spawn no matter what.If the bay is full of bunker at the time of there migration we catch.This spring will tell the tale of our bunker population.
