The great fishing continues here in Marshfield. Yesterday we were on the water for a few hours early in the day and the baitfish, specifically peanut bunker, were everywhere. The birds were working all along the coast as well as miles out into the ocean. The first half mile off the shore was loaded with striped bass feasting on peanut bunker.
Over the past few weeks we have seen striped bass swarm the Brant Rock and Green Harbor coastline on many occasions. On the most recently occasion (this past Monday morning 10-16-06) the schoolies were chasing the bait right into the beach. There were bunker bouncing around in the sand along the waters edge for about a 200ft span. It was a pretty amazing site.
Bluefish will demolish your tackle box if you don’t use the right tackle. I recommend an 18" 30 lb. steel leader whether you are trolling or casting. After the leader you can use anything from a classic cast master to deep diver. I catch bluefish on a wide variety of tackle.
