Capt. Phil Dulanie and mates Ryan DiBiagio and Deane Lambros had Ed Picards charter for a day of Striped bass fishing on Sunday May 24. The boys went on the look out for bunker but could not make bait. Fortunately they had bunkers from day before still in the live well and drifted off Mantoloking. Finding bunker schools on the surface they were able to make bait, and in the process went 3 for 8 on nice Bass in the 36-41 inch range. After the bite ended Capt. Phil then got a call from Canyon Runner crew member Capt. Billy Rowan that the Bass were coming up off Sea Girt. So they brought the lines in and ran just offshore. The boys were in awe to what they saw. 1000’s of bass were busting bunker just offshore. Unfortunately the boys went a dismal 5 for 20 on their shots. They could not believe how lazily the bass were eating the baits. At the end of the day they ended up just off Spring Lake with fish in the box and a happy Charter and Crew they ended with 8 fish in the box.
