yaking off satellite beach

Post by fixed80 »

saw what appeared to be a buoy out in the distance so i decided to check it out for the first time. oh and boy was it a long paddle. as i was paddling along i did see thousands upon thousands of bait(pilchards, hoo's etc) everywhere.
bait was getting chased by something but couldn't see what it was though.
anyway, i finally get to this object floating in the water over half a mile out. it wasn't a buoy after all.
it was a huge live well(at least thats what it looked like to me.... the kind of well that headboats use). dont know why its just floating there. :scratch:
btw.... there was lots of bait under it but no trips, kings, nor bonnies.

so i started to make drifts near it and away from it. all i got was a few
foot long sharks. :thumbdown: i did catch a croaker on the bottom and that was it.
probably could of done better if i were trolling instead.

lost a few fish but i believe they were sharks and one could of been a bonnie.
the bait of choice was threadfins i caught yesterday.
even chunked them to attract fish but no. it was still slow.
after 4 hours of drfiting in different spots i made the long paddle back to shore. whuuuu was i far out.

i brought someone with me who stayed on the beach and he said he caught some blues, catfish, whiting and thats it. there were tarpon blasting on bait he said too.
