There's an unusual angling story breaking in the Big Apple lately: the arrival of tuna close to to shore. Apparently, there's some thought that this may be a result of resurgent bunker populations.
We have discussed for years the need to restore bunker before Atlantic striped bass can bounce back. Anyway, there seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence of increased bunker around NYC this summer/fall. Whether the tuna return like this next year remains to be seen. . . but I think this is an optimistic development.
Yuh better have a whole lotta backing if your're casting off the jetty at Breezy Point.
