Fished this past Saturday

I was out in the schools of bunker at the buoy (Manasquan) Plenty of bunker but I did not mark any stripers.

Hows the fishing at the Axel Carlson?

Since you ask for some fishing tip's I would do what skunk said in this thread (very easy and effective). You could also try trolling a bunker spoon or stretch's. Both are a couple of buck's but they work!!!!!! Good luck fishing.Also check with Bennett he is out fishing every weekend were you are and always is into fish!!!!!!!!!!!

I rarely mark stripers even when I'm catching them. Usually I'll look for "harassed" bunker for a while, skipping from pod to pod. If I find nothing exciting, I settle in at 60' (with bunker pods around) and wait it out. This is best when there is a moderate drift to cover ground. Pays off if you have patience. Trolling plugs and spoons is the other way to go. There are Bass out there by the can and to the north well into July every year. Sometimes they eat like pigs, other times they pick.
