Sounds good about Venice. It’s a long drive, but such choice once you get there.
I do have a specific question, while I have your attention. I could see the fish on my sonar. We were in ~20′ of water, and they were between 5-10′ deep. Sometimes a bit deeper. But, they were obviously feeding on the bottom.
What is their method of doing so? I mean, I can envision predatory fish laying on the bottom (or low in the water column) and looking up to silhouette bait, then attacking from underneath. And, I have seen fish that look for bait buried in the mud. But, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen video of a fast predatory fish (like trout or redfish) swooping on bait from above. It was obviously happening, but I simply cannot wrap my head around what it looked like!
