Late November

11/29/11 night trip. The winds calmed and the seas were flattened by the light northwest winds. Very slow fishing early. Waning moon setting late. No current; no good fish–grunts and squirrel fish. Fishing made hard by the swirling northwest wind and light northward current. Later in 70′ with chunking and chumming the fishing turned on. A real smorgasbord biting: Kingfish; bonito; blue runners; a nice amberjack; a nice mangrove with some small ones; several nice yellowtails with quite a few small ones. Not much competition for the fish–very few boats out.
