bunker

i've used bunker and chicken legs. but where i go alot of people use bunker. i was hoping for other options, lol. if there are any.

You can never go wrong with chicken legs, after that any fish you can get your hands on, bunker etc.

 

[rageBH96]

I go to the store and get the old packs of drumsticks for like 3 or 4bucks and just use that. Maybe a bag of bunker

**** Both posts above me weren't there when I started typing. Sorry for the repeat but we're all in agreement! ***

lol. the only problem with chicken legs is it attracted a flock of seagulls.

 

[jerseygirl]

thanks everyone.

 

[njgunner]

try both....some spots bunker might work better than chicken and vice versa

 

[hammer4reel]

try soaking the chicken in annisette the night before . It REALLY works

 

[jerseygirl]

ok. i didnt think of soaking it in anything. ill try it when we go crabbing..

I see your new here welcome. Do you hunt or fish or just crab since its about 25 deg out and crabbing is long over.

 

[jerseygirl]

i like useing sunnies lots of ponds can use a reduction smaller ones use a hole one big ones cut them in halve they last three time longer then bunker
and the crabs love it

If you live near any of the party boat just go over there and ask for bluefish racks. Always happy to get rid of them and there real oily.

BTW WELCOME to the forum
