at 4 am it was 20 knots WSW and yes fish were caught, but they had yellow eyes and no stripes

but it was fun anyway. seals didn't show untill it was over thankfully. I hope the one that got a facefull of my trebles yesterday, chokes on it. Next time I will open the bail before the bass gets chomped so it will have a chance. I was able to outfish the seals with the blues yesterday because they are more streamlined and cut thru the water better to be able to winch them in, but not so easy with 20 lb bass

wind makes it a challenge for sure, increased chop=harder for fish to see the plug, more bow in the line, harder to set the hooks.
