At least you hooked up 3X's, you were going to release them anyways so no big deal losing at the boat unless you wanted a picture!

Checked out 1/2 dozen spots today from my truck. Couldn't find any remotely close enough to cast to. Birds seem to have taken the day off as well. Pretty dead for the first time in days. Doesn't seem like there are too many blues around to fill in the time waiting for these things to show, either.

In line with some of what you're saying.......there is TONS of bait out there. Not many predators however....seen plenty of schools of juvey blues.....where are the bigguns? Where are the Bass?...Bait will be gone before the leaves fall.

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.

NICE ,those fish drove me nuts yesterday. Jim had at least 4 to the boat by the time I caught my first fish, but it was a seabass , figures.
I did land 4 albies and my very first ever spainish mac, also caught a monster scup so I got a Cape Cod Grand Slam of sorts off of mr. striper's boat.

Ya, but it doesn't feel the same, they can only leave when I say so!
