When I used to fish Long Island and I did this on Nantucket as well. I would fish whole clams on the bottom as a family day at the beach. Mid day, full sun, swimmers in the water splashing around. My two biggest fish caught this way were caught under these condition. 38lbs. Lots of tourists and swimmers did not get back in the water after seeing me land these fish. I remember a 64 lb fish caught on Long Island the same way noon with full sun and swimmers around.
