It's been a long time since I've seen so much bait. Most of it seems to be very small. Peanuts, bay anchovies, and some smaller bait I can't ID. I've also seen the little harbor blues with not much else on the bait except the funny fish lately and some smallish bass.
Other areas there are lots of butterfish, macs, and juvi herring. Bass seem to be concentrated in confined areas and not spread out as many have been saying all year long.
Right now I'm only concentrating on these tunoids, but something is definitely 'off' and has been for quite some time when it comes to bass and blues.
Certain areas that I've fished ALWAYS held blues at dawn and dusk, but this year they just aren't there and weren't last year either even with mega bait around.
