Actually we have some sandeels around.A diver told me there was a large pod around one of the jetty's weeks ago.hey seem to be holding some small fish around but the larger bass are all on the bunker.Was out in the boat the last 2 mornings because i had afternoon barbeques to attend.the bait is there but the fish would not co-operate.i knew it would be a late afternoon bite an was right.As I talked to some who got em.It's amazing it feels like the complaceny is setting in.Its really nothing to snag a bait an get a 30 when they are feeding.One 2 hr span I had 15 fish 25-35 lbs. I almost feel ashamed to catch these majestic warriors in such a ridiculously easy fashion.I crack up with disgust when i see the pics in the papers an the fish rags of these JO's holdin up 30 lbers that they are so proud of.5 yrs ago a twenty was a decent fish u had to work ur ass off to get a 30.now anyone wit a boat has got a 30.its a joke.An some out there (boaters) still don't get it.
