[FISH11]

Can't tell from the picture, although it looks like something large that the sea lion has in it's mouth. I was out there yesterday on my Solo Skiff and tried to find the bird action, but like you the only bird action I saw was them picking up pieces of fish the the sea lions left when playing with their food by tossing it in the air. They do that a lot. The only other bird action was them following the New Seaforth when it came in closer. The large swells and wind chop made it difficult to spot any surface boils and only saw a few marks on the FF. Dropped jigs on any large bait balls or possible large fish marks for nada. Had a fly lined mac that I drifted and trolled all day. Changed out the bait several times but never got a hit or lost one to a sea lion even.
