Raritan Bay - Where do you find your bunker (cast net)? - The Hull Truth

So we are keeping the boat in Atlantic highlands this year and need to find bunker being new comers we are looking for some location help. I know that netting locations are passed down through the generations; but anybody that would help out with some proven locations I would love a tip or two. Everyone says go to great kills but that seems like a long way for bunker.

usually plenty of them right in the marina there.

RIght off the hook at the right time. There is no sure fire way to predict where they are.

They come into Liberty Landing all the time. Huge schools.

Great Kills is usually a good bet.

yep. Right now anyway (but can almost always find them there). Little later on you can get them right at your marina and keyport area, then outside in Ocean from HIghlands bridge down to seaside and beyond.

That's for adult bunker.

WHen the peanuts come in, they will be EVERYWHERE>

Right now, just shoot over to GK. You will see everyone else netting them whether inside harbor, or just outside.
