It’s an unforgettable sight: thousands, millions of small fish, skittery at the surface. Suddenly the water explodes as predators rocket through the school. You can expect scenes like this when the bait run in ON.
Whether it’s mullet in the fall moving down the east coast, getting hammered by all kinds of predators--tarpon, snook, sharks, big bluefish, or in the summer when you have acres of menhaden or bunker schooling in bays and along the beaches getting busted by breaking stripers and bluefish--when the bait run is on, it’s time to call in sick. Join the action as Frank Bolin and Capt. Ed Zyak cast under clouds of mullet and Jeff Weakley uses the popcorn of the sea—shrimp—to catch tarpon.
