Large Fish On the Surface | Category: Introduce yourself

Hey Guys, Had the opportunity to go offshore on a friend's yatch. Big fish were seen swimming close to surface but would not bite on the bait. I jigged soft lures, rapala, metal spoons etc. But still no success. Can someone please advice where I could be going wrong? My location was off karachi across Manora about 20kms from the shoreline.

You might not have been doing anything wrong.

The old saying is "match the hatch". It simply means make your bait the same as what the fish are eating at the time. Maybe those large fish are simply not pelagic and not interested in moving lures. Maybe try a live bait under a float next time or maybe even a lure under a float.
