This was the fish that if you didn't check your bait every 30 seconds they were going to take it. I caught several of these as so did my brother and they were just a hassle to deal with. Conditions were calm on the water, with seas only 3-4ft , very hot and sunny conditions. Temp between 85-86 during our time of fishing. Maybe even hotter. Keeping the bait on the bottom was the key for us
