Yet another boring Bonito story . . .

[BassyiusMaximus]

. . . from Bassyius Maximus.

I could not get Friday off however my buddy and my other buddy got to get out there and hooked up 20+ Bonito and a few incidental bluefish. 4 of us got to go out in the 2-3 foot slop early Saturday and had the place to ourselves save for the occasional sportfisher that would troll by then leave and we hooked up another large mess of the Bones and even more bluefish. There have been a lot of bonito out there, more than I've ever been witness to in my short time and all the reports are on the money as well.

We did take the time to try just about every plastic swimmer in our collective possession and can now safely say that anything trolled or cast will catch these fish/bonito assuming/knowing that they are there. The color of the lure didn't matter for we had silver sides and a red head and a green top that worked. Black top, orange bottom, silver sides, worked. Dark blue/blue crystal, worked. The green tigers worked, the green top, yellow bottom, they all worked, so long as it vibrated through the water, it caught the fish. The length of lure didn't matter nor did the size, the depth didn't matter, whether it ran deep, 6-13 feet or 15 or 20 or shallow 1 1/2-3 feet, they hit everything we put in the water. It could have been because we were the only boat in the area or that they are just hungry and want to eat our tasty plastic lures.

The only thing we have not tried this year are any metals. As we are fortunate enough to be on a boat, so long as we have the wind to our backs we can get our lures launched and into fish that the metals are not necessary and I've yet to get a metal that will outfish the plastic swimmers we've had so much luck with, but that is me.

I lost/misplaced my flash drive and all the pics are in my buddies computer but do you really want to see more pictures of me and my buddies and those things?, I didn't/don't think so.
