My first 3/4 off shore report

ps. Cappy can meter the kelps completely from the side and see what is there. If he looked and moved on, the right kind were not there.

Quote from the member that took the video "One of the earlier stops, the captain said he was metering lots of fish but they weren't coming up. I remember him saying it was a solid mark of fish 30-60 feet down"

I wish we could have soaked our line a bit at that spot  But what can you do, next time I guess

Marc..

It's a judgement call. If you are throwing live bait to get the school awake and active and they will not move to hit obvious live food then it probably is a lockjaw situation as he has learned from experience.

I have often wondered if schools of pelagics "sleep" in this way???
