we were there last week, devoid of life really, nice water out wide but nothing in it. closer in around 100-150 there's dolphins and bait etc, just nothing else. ok if your'e fishing for snaps and kings...

next year will be better im sure...

on the plus side, had a giant sized eagle ray come up and hug me while free diving at cuvier island!! now thats a cool experience!!

Back to Mayor yesterday. Could not find a Skippy! After 5.5 hours caught a small Albacore which I trolled around the area that we got the fish on Saturday, to no avail. Nice conditions to be out wide for a day but a lifeless ocean. Back to the drawing board for tomorow
