Menhaden (also called bunker or pogy) are oily, silvery saltwater baitfish that travel in large surface schools along the Atlantic coast. They have a deep, compressed body and a distinct black spot behind the gill. Menhaden are one of the most important forage fish in coastal waters and are widely used by anglers live, chunked, or as chum because their high oil content strongly attracts predators like striped bass, bluefish, tuna, and sharks
