A friend told me there were some huge schools of bunker (Menhaden) off Old Inlet with a Humpback Whale on Saturday morning so I headed over to Bellport Beach with my drone to take a look. Conditions were perfect with light winds and a calm and clear ocean.
I couldn’t tell at the time but there were a few Striped Bass swimming inside the schools and occasionally chasing the fish out of the water. The first Striped Bass appears in the video above at the :48 second mark and there are two bass in the first photo below. The drone provides a fascinating perspective, from the ground you could barely make out the schools.
