 Unlucky
Btuff,
My impression has been that those fish can be extremely selective to the point of embarrassment. Recently, I had a similar situation with blues on bait. After awhile with the perfect match I tried flies that "stood out". Not even a look. Guys in boats nearby were skunked using plugs, bait, tubes, you name it. Sometimes the situation looks too good.
I don't think presentation was a problem. Location and pattern changes might help. (I've seen guys kill the bass using bubble gum color soft plastics when the fish are on green sand eels in CCB).
Usually I switch to my favorite pattern that casts well and hit the fringes of the mayhem. Of course, I also catch a lot of schoolies.
