Bite in deep water is usually more consistent because they have less structure to be on .
Inshore there are way more pieces .

Right now TOG are the new designer fish . They are getting tons of pressure . Spot lock has dramatically changed the game . Guys who couldn’t anchor on a football field can now lock into a spot as small as their boat .

.many guys are jig fishing with way too light tackle and light line .They break off big fish that get back on the piece pulling thirty feet of line with them . Not good for that fish .

3d charts have also taken all the secrets out of the bottom . One look at a 3d chart on a plotter . A person can learn spots that took decades to learn in a half hour .

It’s not water temps shutting down the bite now . It’s pressure .

.

I totally agree with all this. I would like to see even tougher regs on blackfish.
