Whats the go

Post by denis barden » Fri Jul 30, 2021 7:57 am

About a month ago went out after the Whiting at one of my better marks,I catch about 6 fish then it all stops no bits at all.I look around and about 200 m away a pod of Dolphins,I stayed for about an hour then went home-no more fish
Yesterday went out close to same spot.Get 4 asap then again quiet ,This time Sammy the seal pops up at the back of the boat.Ok so I waited for 1/2hour-nothing then I see the dolphins 3 pods circling my boat at about a 200 away.Wait another 1/2 hour dead as a maggot so I push off home.
My thought is the Dolphins are sounding to each other and scaring the fish off but at about 200 m from me
Whats your thoughts?

I reckon the dolphins put everything on the spook, once the dolphins turn up everything goes off the bite.

Yeah I think so too.
Especially those in shallows, good chance they're feeding/hungry.

You've been fishing too much Dennis and catching all the fish.
The dolphins and seals now have to follow your boat to find the fish :-D
You need to outsmart them.somehow, I'll leave that up to you to work out.
