They were game though and hung in there. I was merciless and just munched away to my hearts content in front of them. We saw several fish taken but none obliged our green machines or hex heads. It was really rough and we came in to bass fih for a while just off the beach and I tagged 4 good ones from 20 t0 25lbs on my old 2 oz. chute and dropped two more before the old fog factory kicked back into gear and I had to go with the electronics to get back into the Big C. Though we saw a few on Crab everyone that seemed to be in the know hung around for a while then went further east or south looking for the "Promised Land". I am not done with these fish and will try again later this week. I think they like sunshine and a little flatter conditions, at least I know my buds do.
Sounds like we were in the same area Steve. Those seas were pretty brutal for me at least, my two brothers didn't seem to mind as much. I took some good pics and videos of those whales out there, quite a site to see. The tuna we landed slammed a squid bar trolling on the near side of Crab, not where most other boats were trolling. First for me and my brothers.
