There was a news story today about a mass die off of 'bunkers' or menhaden .... prime crab bait in NJ.


While we always used rank chicken necks around the docks menhaden is definitely the crab traps/pot bait of choice. We also use mullet in SC.

Did not know about the demise of menhaden. But it was hard to find this past summer. The casting nets were good to me. Especially, for mullet.

Proud to be a true Sandlapper!!
