Captain Phil Dulanie fish Wednesday with the Dennis Kruhm charter and enjoyed a very eventful day on our 48’ Canyon Runner. As soon as they broke Manasquan Inlet there were acres of bunker with bluefish, stripers and whales feeding on them. They were so think and the whales had them so tight to the surface that we dip netted 150+ of them in the squid net. The action there at first light was mostly bluefish with one keeper bass taken all taken on the live and fresh dead bunker. What proved later to be a mistake, Capt. Phil ran up the coast to Long Branch and worked around the rocks both trolling and drifting bunker where they added another bass and dozens more bluefish. Not seeing what he wanted to started trolling back south hitting all the spots down the coast to Deal and then ran back to the Inlet where the bite was still on. Unfortunately the bluefish were a problem if you wanted bass but if you wanted action it was outstanding. They went through all 150+ bunker and had dozens and dozens of blues. With two kids on the boat all had a great time and 5 stripers proved enough for a dinner table.
