Very fishy out there this morning. launched around 5:45 no wind, no surf. Bait was easy all over. Water pretty clean, temp 64 degrees. Trolled along between 55 and 70 feet out to the zone for nothing but nervous baits. Some birds popped up on the outside and trolled out that way. In 80 to 110 feet of water there was a big area of bait being harassed by schools of small barracuda. Trolled back out of there toward the kelp. Back in 60 feet of water got a strong zip then nothing. Finally around 9:30 or so got a sustained bite on the right kind which results in a 42lb sea bass. Paddling back in there were nice marks all the way from in front of the condo to the edge of the reserve. Good luck pm crew.
