I was out Sunday with my primary target being birds, not fish. It's fall migration and seabirds are on the move just like land birds. But, I brought along a couple rods to try for Dinner. Checked out the area near the Miami sewer since there's always tons of boats there and of course, birds. No unexpected birds but I trolled a lure and got a small king. Dinner got. Saw two other kings caught among the other 50 boats there, both small also. Headed a little deeper and dropped on a number I have for yelloweye. Nobody home. Headed out to 1100' but it was a desert out there. Not one bird in sight. Came back and trolled two lures in 300' hoping for a blackfin but got a double header skipjack instead which I released. Again, no birds around either. Slowest day for offshore birds I've had and pretty close when it comes to fish too, although I put only minimal effort into fishing. Heard of one sail on the radio and nothing else.
