Craiger12 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I know this is an old thread, but no need to start a new one I guess. I'm sure this will vary, but for those of you that like to make the switch and then drop the bunker back down, what size weight are you typically using and how do you decide?

Mr. Bigdeal Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Depends on the situation....sometimes were live lining to large bass under or right behind bunker schools being ravaged by bluefish....we like to send'em down on a fish finder or knocker rig with a sliding egg sinker....if the yellow eyed demons are present we need to get the bait down fast else feed the raiders....in that case we're usually using 4 oz eggs depending on water depth and current and other times no weight at all.

Jon I Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I like those sea striker "quick slides". Easy on, easy off, no retying, and can quickly get the right weight on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it matters or not, but this will be done from a kayak and not a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some tough cartilage there which keeps the hook up, and I'm told bass attack the head first. It's always worked for me. Blues bite from the backside of the baitfish.

Mr. Bigdeal Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I like In-line circles for eels and Octopus for bunker......I hook'em just in front of the dorsal and cross their eyes.

Flybyme Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 this thread could turn into 100 pages, are you fishing the bunker schools, are you drifting them deep over structure, are you fishing shallow along a rocky shoreline. I could give you a million Are Yous. Single J/ circle, treble, or bridle? Whole dead bunker works amazing drifted back through schools in deep water. How are you planning to fish them? * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't answer those questions because I haven't done it yet. Just trying to prepare as best I can before hand. Ideally I would be snagging them and then switching out and dropping down below the school or keeping them alive until I mark some fish and then drop down to them.

Mr. Bigdeal Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 In a yack to begin with, it would be much easier to snag and drop in the beginning......until you develop a system.

big popper Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 i would much rather snag and and then put them on a bait runner with a circle. some times i'll snag and drop to see if there's bass there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically my plan. See if I can hook up immediately after snagging. If not, make the switch and drop back down. I'm also planning on making a flat mesh pouch to hang over the side of the kayak to keep 1 or 2 alive for later if necessary. Seems like it's personal preference whether to go with a circle or octopus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigdeal Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Bunker have to swim....a mesh bag won't allow that..
