OK, I will be the one to ask the question that dozens of people who read this post have probably asked themselves. What the hell does a small pod of large yellowtail cruising look like?

Granted I have not spent nearly enough time on the water yet but I cannot say that I have ever been able to spot fish on the surface. I know the signs for bait and birds. What are the signs of big fish that we should be looking for?

Thanks for your help.

DONT ALWAYS THINK BREEZERS ARE A EASY CATCH WHEN U FIND THEM THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I HAVE FOUND BREEZERS & FOLLOWED THEM FOR CLOSE TO A HOUR & THREW EVERTHING IN THE TACKLE BOX @ THEM FOR NO PLAY SOMETIMES THERE FINICKY .I REALLY DONT LIKE FISHING WITH SOMEONE ON THE WATER CAUSE U CAN EASILY BE MISSING A SUTTLE SPLASH OF A FINNING YT IN THE DISTANCE CAUSE U ARE 2 BUSY CHATTIN IT UP W/YOUR BUDDY .GOTTA BE STEALTH & THAT HOBIE SURE DOES HELP. CAUSE THAT STROKING OF THE PADDLE DOES KILL SOME OF THE SURROUNDING NOISE

On the other hand, don't yellowtail also like commotion in the water?. I remember last summer fishing LJ,I was flylining baits and everytime this small outboard boat went zooming by me the yellows would bite! Couldn't wait for his passes... Thus, inboards,outboards,paddles going through the water excite yellows and others in the tuna family.

Gotta love the quiet days. A solid fish just makes it that much better.
