Too funny,
I was out in my skiff a couple of day ago and I too tossed my iron over and through them.

How many others have done the same in that past week?!

Those fish are surely growing up fearless of the iron!

I actually hooked one with the sabikis and took some pics.

They appear to congregate around kelp. Seems like everytime fishing offshore and there is a mola or more around a kelp paddy the palegics are missing. I'm assuming yt and mola don't mix. If I come across a paddy with mola are around I move on to the next one, hope I'm not missing the fish by doing this!. Just my observations.

We saw them jumping a bunch along the kelp lines, Clay had a blast chasing them and watching them jump.

Thanks for the sabiki catch pic, confirms what he kept seeing...

I saw a large school out in the middle of nowhere, half way between the kelp and the pier.

True, I caught no YT or WSB near them, but then again, I caught nothing of significnce all day

Thanks for the sunfish report Bob, I was wonderingwhat those were jumping out of the water on my "happy" paddle in. Nice seeing you again too!

Ahhh, I saw a few of them on Friday too. Baffled me and was wondering if I was noticing the obvious, glad to know I'm not the only one enjoying the little things seen out there.

Last month I saw a huuuuuge one! About twice the size on my car door. I had never seen one before so I was kinda spooked. We made eye contact and it proceeded to follow me and just stare at me. Man it was cool! after about ten or fifteen it swam away.
