: On the water at 5:30 AM. Light offshore breeze with 1-2 footers at the launch. Stopped and dropped my way from the buoy to the point in search of bait.When I finally found it, I found plenty in all shapes and sizes. Bait tank loaded, I put out a Greenback on one side and a Spanish Mac on the other and headed west. I hit a spot of bigger Barracuda. The Greenback was slashed pretty good, but still alive, so I threw it back out. One other time I found a WSB picking off wounded bait under the Barracuda. Sure enough the tore up Mac gets picked up. Put it in gear and it swings me around. Had the feel of a bigger WSB, making it's first run just below the surface then the second run going deep. 10 minutes in, following a very hard run, the line goes slack. Donnie saw the whole thing. I said
Fat fish Donnie. Sounds like a nice ride. Picking at wounded bait under the berry? Whoa! They are on the feed. I've seen them schooling in kelp beds, where you could drop live squid on their heads and they wouldn't bite it. Go back the next day and there was a feeding frenzy. I prefer the "feeding frenzy" days.
