No brother, I believe that they are also a fan of Jimmy B and Jack D and the occasional Miller lite

That's how those "animals" in the far east catch them and stab them to death in that bloody bay. I've seen the documentary. Brutal!
The sounds underwater interfere with their sonar sense. Prob would scare them away, maybe the other fish as well, and i'm sure it ain't nice to the porpoises if not painful.

Once down in Naples (off the pier), I was fighting a pompano and pretty much had him up to the surface. The fish took one more dive to a depth that just put the fish out of sight when it suddenly seemed like it had pumped up on steriods...not even a fast run or anything..but just a steady pull that I was in no way stopping. About 5-6 seconds into this, a dolphin (with my fish in it's mouth) surfaced and I knew I was cooked - so I pinched the spool and cut my losses right then. This dolphin was either not hooked (jig was in pomp's mouth) or if it was hooked, never realized it...because it was not in any hurry to go anywhere...but leasurely went where ever it wanted...LOL...this was while using a 7 1/2 MH St Croix tidemaster with a Cabo 40 and 20 lb braid (12 lb flouro leader)...Think I had a shot to land him if I didn't pinch it off? (j/k....LOL)
