My uncle hits that general area a lot and says the SBFT bite this year is absolutely dead. He's been avoiding the skunk by bringing a flat of butter fish all chunked up and tossing handfuls at high flyers to get the mahi fired up. Having fun with small ones on light tackle. He did get a really nice white marlin last week on a daisy chain style lure with a splasher bird in front and a skirted ballyhoo as the stinger. That was the first fish the made the 50W sing this year though. I guess its a good year if you like to tangle with the giants. The local guys I follow on social media seem to have a lot of trucks waiting at the dock, hoisting fish off the deck.

I'm headed out tomorrow to the popular spot to see if I cant get a bonito. Any tips? not looking for spots, just tactics.
