Dude ignore the peanut gallery. It's an honest question, and a good one.
We were all rookies once.
You'll know one if you see one. If it's below you, and shallow, you'll see the bait in the water thick, it's unmistakable. They're running all over, freaking out, it will look like millions of them.
If you see one hit the surface, again, you won't mistake it. I've been out on days where it literally sounds like it's pouring rain there is so much bait exploding on the surface. The surface will look like it's pouring rain as well, the ocean looks like it's boiling. I've seen the surface boiling up for an area the size of many football fields north of the pier in La Jolla. Makes you feel like a little kid, all kinds of excited.
On the fish finder, you will suddenly see either a thick long line, or a blob, depending on the type of fish and the size of the ball. You will see the ground, then 1/3 the way up or so there will be the cloud, like a swarm of bees looking type of cloud, then open water on top of it. That's your bait ball, the cloud.
If you've got your FF dialed you can watch your sabiki fall and stop it right in the middle of the ball and... hang on!
BTW, good video too.
Tight lines,
Willy
