You can catch them from shore but you have 100X better chance of catching them on a boat since your movement is not constrained. Many head boats and charter boats target them exclusively during the spring and fall runs.

The normal drill is scout around and look for signs of life like birds or schools of bunker getting harassed. If you hit it right you're in for an experience of a lifetime. I'm talking Nat Geo stuff here..Acres of Bunker getting pushed to the top and jumping out of the water, Stripers swiping at them from every direction creating sprays of white water.

It's a truly amazing fishery and these next 6 weeks, NJ will be your best opportunity to experience it.
