Well, I gave the offshore (technically inshore on a skiff) thing a run today. Headed out at Ponto to ankle slappers. Easy bait making just outside the surf zone. I made it out about 3 miles before seeing way too many hammerheads and not much life, although hammerheads normally point to tuna? I decided to head north and head in and fish for the bonies/cuda on 8lb (the runs they make are extremely fun and worth a try if your bored).
Got slammed by this sucker on my way in. He hit it once, spit it, then came back for it. This YT wasn't very long but it was chunky. Quick photo then released. Worked my way to the kelp at ponto and caught about 20 bones/barracuda up to 3-5 lbs. Fun shit! Go get them.
