What are They Fishing For?

Had to work all day but was able to get a few glimpses of the glassy surf. Post rain sessions are always risky but often worth the gamble due to lack of bodies in the lineup.

Managed to squeeze in a quick session before dark of high tidey peaks while witnessing the ocean calm and the light show offshore begin.

After rains I often notice a fleet of commercial fishing vessels off the coast hanging out well into the dark, if not staying overnight completely. I was wondering what are they going for? Seabass? The lights and late night stay make me think they're going for squid after dusk but I don't know what they could be hauling up beforehand.
