They can drive you out of your mind at times. IMO the key trick to bonito (and ablie) fishing is being prepared. Really prepared. If you have to switch lures they could be gone. Also, go light as possible and tie direct...it really matters with these fish. You will loose more but at least you will connect. I can't tell you how many times I cut off my leader and tied direct after not getting a touch while casting into a frenzy feeding session only to get a hit on the first cast without a leader. This has happened more then one time. My general casting leaders use tiny spro swivels with tiny berkley snaps with 25# floro....even they are seen. I suggest 12# mono *tied* to 15# floro tied to the plug (lighter if you dare)...retrieve very briskly...have extra lures if blues are around.

The other option is fly rod...(with lots of backing)
