What is bizarre about bones are how easy they are to catch from a boat. They will hit an umbrella rig on wire and are not finicky. I went out last week (on a boat) and doubled up every pass (with yo-zuri minnows on braid with a mono leader) and we left because I was tired of catching them. (they were only 4-6#) I agree from shore it is a different story but I think the reason is that there are not many of them in close. When a lot of them show up I think the competition factor kicks in and they strike without thinking about it. A few years back you could catch them like bluefish off the beach. It is different now.
