LOL, I can't count how many times that's happened to me too. I learned from those experiances though. When I leave the hill, I usually have 3 or 4 different types of bait so if one species isn't in it's normal spot, atleast i'm prepared for the next. Good thing bait isn't very expensive. I ALWAYS have a big pack of squid. It's so versitle and sooooooooooooo many different fish eat squid. I always have live mudminnows. Some other baits I like to carry along depending on the time of year is live shrimp, dead shrimp(cut bait), Cigar Minnows(when offshore), and of course fiddler crabs.
My only complaint is that I wish we had all the different species inshore that places like Fl and Cali have. Those guys are catching monster fish close to shore that we have to travel miles and miles offshore to reach. Imagine if we could target marlin 500 yards from the coast? MAN!!!!!!!!!!! I miss living in Guam sometimes. [
