Even when they're a bit off with lines at various depths, never saw it happen here on the East coast--Sun fish and porpoise--yes.
Should we worry about it or will all the Wright whales be eliminated by props and bow ballast extensions from tankers and cargo super ships...
Thought about this for several years now. Is there an answer???
Chuckie, we had them go directly under the boat with no problems. Could it be that they displace so much water that it works like a force field pushing the lines out of the way?
Dolphin and Mola Molas may actually be going for the bait and get foul hooked. I know that down south the Dolphin/Porpoise bite trolled Balihoo off right behind the hook. A learned technique?
