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.
