Does Rough Water Make A Difference?

So, its dead calm this weekend (so they are calling)...

Does the wave height and chop make any difference?

Bumpy gets the bites for the most part. Slick is sick usually. But.... Any given day....

Fished out of Venice, LA on June 19th-20th 2009, very FLAT very little wind. less than 5 knots. we caught 1 blue marlin, 1 white , and 2 sailfish.
I wouldn't say that's normal for slick ocean conditions, but it sure was nice.

TRY THIS

HI:
On flat calm ,slick days and no wind, Raise your O/RIGGERS as HIGH as they will go.
Now drop your lures back far enough so that LITTLE LINE to your lures/bait STAYS in the water. WHY?
Don't know if the Tuna can see the disturbance of the line in the water, OR the noise of that line going thru the water, BUT this TRICK will put more fish in your boat.
INCREASE your speed when it's flat calm, that helps too.
