Few years ago, was between the beachfront and jetties trolling, just released a short mackeral.
While looking at my lines and leaning over the side of the boat to wash my hands I had this sneaky bastard come up next to the boat.
He was so close while me being leaned over that all I could see was this eye ball. Not being able to think think or focas my eyes that fast, I leaned back and put my hands on the rail. He was right back within arms reach, I held my hand out and started to lean toward him and he slightly moved over.
I realized "oh, you want to be fed", instinctively I turned toward the cooler then stopped and realized this is why he is here. No, no handouts today, not from me. Knowing how bad the seagulls, pelicans, cats, etc are. If he had of been a shark, he could have easily had me for lunch and supper.
The ones way offshore are splotched white or mostly white colored.
Got an invite to go about 90 miles offshore to the "Deli" (as ballast mostly) and they are so bored (or hungry) out that far, it seems that they look for boats to keep around, oh and the flying fish are something else too that far out.
