Huntar,

Yeah, I launched from John Wayne on Sunday afternoon, too. On the way out, passed by a few bait balls that we probably should have fished. The rip coming around the spit was pretty rough going, probably should have fished that, too, but didn't know exactly where it was legal to be fishing, as I haven't been out there much yet.

FYI, for future reference, I think the area inside the spit is closed right now, west and south of a line from the lighthouse, east to the #2 red buoy outside the spit, then south to the Port Williams boat dock.

We Fished outside the spit, to the west of the red buoy, there was some bait around, but no fish. Then we tried over on the west side of Protection Island, near the green buoy there. There was a little more bait, but no fish action.

I was kicking myself for neglecting those initial good signs, after we got back with no fish... first time in a while.

Isn't it frustrating to see so much bait, but catch no fish? What's up with that?
