Milder weather for today in the forecast should bring more anglers to the water. The fish are also cooperating both for the boat and surf fisherman alike. Trolling the big bunker spoons are at the top of the list for these jumbo fall run bass. Case in point, check out Greatkills Bait and Tackle on Staten Island. The shop weighed in a 67.55 lb. bass yesterday on a bunker spoon! Closer to home, trollers are hooking up on bass to 40 lbs. also on spoons. The surf scene is seeing more keeper bass each day taken on sand eel looking presentations. These sand eels are quite large in profile so large Avas and Deadly Dicks will work nicely as far as metals go. SP minnows and Yo-Zuri LC minnows also matchup nicely with the sand eels... John Yac
