thanks for all your advice!
You don't have to fish with the fleet in the Harbor.
Grab a chart and look for some structure......lumps, bumps & edges.
I like outgoing there.

Found a very small lump a year ago or so just N of the Statue.
We were all alone and made 7 drifts with eels got us 7 bass from 25 to 38lbs.
All released.
I still hit it when I'm up that way.
