Author:
I read in fishing report that saids “Breaking striped bass with a mix of bluefish have been reported in the Eastern Bay…” what does that mean?
What should you do in this situation? use a popper?

I think that is short for record-breaking fish ie really big ones being caught

big bass
It means the bluefish and striped bass are chasing baitfish to the surface. If the predators keep on chasing, the baitfish will jump out of the water. Once in a while a bluefish would also jump out of the water in pursuit of baitfish. The water surface then appears to be breaking as fish jump out of it to live or eat. Also huge bluefin tuna will break the water.
Means they are in a “frenzy ” .Good time to catch ‘em . Yea top water is good .
