The bite was a bit slow but that's summer fishing. Not much you can do with that.

There’s a lot of sharks out there. Be prepared to reel quickly and lose some to the sharks.

I don’t have any idea if the location or weather or what had an impact on whether or not we caught any fish. I am the wrong person to ask :)

Weather is so fickle on the coast. So people need to be prepared to have things change. Also learned that there is a heavy shark presence which makes it hard to catch the super monster fish that we really want to catch.

I recommend live bait, and had success with that. Depending on the weather and water artificial bait may work better.

I’d book the 6 hour trip due to the time it takes to get to the ocean from the dock…

Take the time and money to charter a guide who knows the area. You'll have a much better time and learn the area.
