Nephew caught 23 bass doing nothing different than the rest of us.

What’s wrong with the old one?

It might be the smell you leave on the bait or how fast they react to a nibble. In grade school I often fished with a buddy that almost always caught fish when I didn't. We used the same tackle and the same locations. My younger son is one that always catches fish.

I believe it's his reaction time. He is very focused and every waver of the bobber he'd twitch the pole. Most of his catches were right on the lip.

Depends, really. We'll go even if the swells are 3-4 feet, as long as the sets are spaced. Example of tomorrow's report:

Islas Coronado: Monday - NW winds 10-15 kt. Seas 5-7 feet in S to SW swell. Period 15 seconds. This means the swells are 15 seconds apart, which is great if they are small swells. 7 foot? Nope, nope, nope.

That's a recipe for a washing machine. If the swells were 1-2, 2-3, it'd be very doable. At 5-7 feet, that's a hard pass for a 22' boat.
