The late fall journey into the
local waters of the Western Long Island was quite successful. Andy and
Rich used a technique common in the southern states to drive school size
bass into a feeding frenzy. They took a baitwell full of live baby
bunker (menhaden) and threw handfuls out across the surface. It
took only moments for the fish to turn on and the action was incredible.
They battled dozens of fish up to the mid-teens on very light tackle in
depths of no more than 12ft. This technique can be used on any rocky
point when schools of baby bunker are abundant. If
you have questions about any of the equipment used during the show, please contact us
or send us a message.
Special thanks go out to the folks at
Manhasset
Bay Marina for the hauling and preparation of the boat. A 285 slip
full service marina capable of handling boats up to 110ft.
Complete with waterside cocktails and exquisite dining at the beautiful and
scenic La
Motta's Restaurant.
