Need a little help...... Spanish off Oak Island?

Hi Folks,

Have a friend who has his grandsons from PA visiting and they want to fish in the ocean. Figured the safe bet is troll the beach for Spanish and if they get sick or bored, it's a quick run back in. Would love to take them offshore, but I really don't know anything about them....... so, just going to play it safe until I can learn more about them.

So.... any intel on Spanish off Oak Island will be HUGHLY appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Fished edge of a hard 3 degree break in 120 feet and could barely keep a line in water. Got 25 mostly gaffers then decided to head out for a big bite. Picked up 2 big gaffers in no man’s land trolling to deep then deployed the blue marlin spread and got hit almost as soon as we hit the 100 fathom line. Broke one off on a dink pole and had another eat a plug and run off on a crazy run before pulling hook. One of them smoked the teaser before we could get it out of water. Trolled a little while longer but it was getting very rough so pulled lines in about 1:00 and headed back

Still no waypoints on the survey, maybe that’s not a thing anymore?

Anyway, all the buoys are back out. Ran them without issue on Friday. The ocean bar was pretty sketchy going out, but unfortunate timing I was trying to cross it as a large set of almost breaking waves rolled through. Once those passed push through without a problem.

Where are they? I know a few have been caught, but Memorial Day weekend usually is peak. Tried today all around MHC area (inside) with not a sniff or a sighting. Only saw 1 or 2 others that looked to be targeting Cobia, and they didn’t seem productive either. You guys catch them all south of us?!?
