I have been out squibby way (alot lately). There is a lot of boat pressure at some popular spots and if you have a small boat and if your not comfortable with large swells (that can crest in the shoals) I would not recommend it. Even today (which was much better then the other day) my depth finder measure some swells @ 10'+.

There are a few comm guys that are eeling that have the holes pegged and have nailed some very impressive catches. But I also see a bunch of rec guys trolling all day with not much to show for it.

What I have found is that at times they have lockjaw and will not take a thing even though you put a live one in front of them . Your FF is showing plenty of big ones but your eel is going unmolested. You need to keep going until they decide to feed, then you will score big. Don't ask me why they turn off like that and what makes them turn on....I wish I knew. It is frustrating. I thought it was me. I changed everything. Its them...Just give them some time. All I can say is there is a lot of big fish out there.
It may take a few trips but you will get them. Frankly I think it is about to turn on (more inshore) after this weather later this week. They are moving now and are looking for food.....got (big) bait?

IMO the fish are headed more inshore now. Those CH fish are the exact size that were off MV last week. Last week the body of fish at CH were mostly schoolies. Those 30# class fish have just arrived. 40's are a few days behind them.
