Some. I found some breaking fish about two miles south of the marina,
and tossed a tiny Clark's spoon at them. Turned out to be what we
Yankees called "snapper blues." Small bluefish. Nice fighters on my my
little five foot rod and 8# test line (with a 6" light wire leader). Did
catch a nice keeper blue which will be the guest of honor at dinner
tonight.

Also caught a skate. I really don't enjoy catching them though they tug
like crazy. They are large and a pain in the ass to release properly.

Had to keep the tabs down while running. You can see their impact
on the boat wake...on the starboard and port side. That bag in the lower
corner...squid...a reliable fish snack food around here.

On a boat that size there should be no need to keep the tabs down while
running. Something is wrong with your set up.
