Welcome to the Stage JJ. You can try frozen clams on the rocky side of the point . You may get a few Porgys there. If the Stripers or Bluefish are chasing Bunker into the inner harbor, then chunked Bunker or Mackerel should attract their attention. Of course Eels at night are the Go To bait for big Stripers. If there's any blitzing schools of Blues within reach, then a Kastmaster or Hopkins spoon, or a surface Popper thrown right into the Blitz is a great way to catch them. Remember Inline Circle hooks are mandatory when using bait for Stripers. Good luck and Tight Lines. Don't forget, we love pictures!
