Dont know much about hunting sharks ( we tend to try and avoid em in my part of the world for obvious reasons ) and I have never seen a white seabass. BUT if your yellow tail has the same behaviour as ours heres a few tips, as stated allready they tend to hang out around the edge of kelp beds, pinnacles, high spots and reefs. In the open water on reefs and so on when hunted from a boat, try spinning through the school, when you hook one up bring it in while the other divers get in on the opposite side of the boat and go under it to shoot fish in the school that will most definately follow the hooked fish. Another handy thing for tail is a flasher when doing drifts in the current follow your flasher at a short distance and look out for schools of yellow tail that mite be in the area comin in for a closer look at the 'bait ball' once again when hunting in a group of divers the first diver should hold his fish as long as possible as the rest of the school will stick around and everybody can have their share in the fun. When on the edge of kelp beds aproach through the kelp, using it as cover and shoot only when you have a very good shot, these guys are hard runners and even the smaller ones are pretty strong. Keep em off the bottom as they run on the bottom to get rid of the spear and do this pretty easily all you hear is clang clang from the spear and then theyre gone. It also sometimes happen that while your hanging in midwater that the school will come up to investigate you and bam. A good fish to hunt, bein a fighter and a good fish to eat, dont over cook as they can be a bit dry then
Good luck and save diving
