Newport or Dana tomorrow? Bonito still around?
I haven't been out for a couple weeks, does anyone know if there are still enough Bonito around Newport to be worth chasing, or has everyone switched to bottom fishing? Checked the party boat counts and it looks like they are still targeting Bones out of Dana but not Newport anymore.
Doubt I'll be ambitious enough to start early but if anyone has the day off and wants to join for a leisurely mid-morning departure they are quite welcome to PM me. Cheers! |

I went out of Newport last Sat and Sun and caught no bonito. Two weeks ago, I did. Maybe it slowed down, more likely it's my skills or lack there of.

Ha ha ha, my skills probably aren't any better so I'll probably go the idiot-proof route and drag a chunk of squid around Will post a report tomorrow.

My buddy and I will be trying for the spotted fish if the bonito don't pan out for you. But, if I get me FF rigged up then off to try for rockfish it is!

hage,
The short answer is not really. I've been out to Dana 2 times within the past couple of weeks and didn't get a bonito bite - and was sort of targeting them, too. Only caught mackeral as a result. Went to Newport within the last week, which I regret because of the dumb boaters they seem to always have there, and got 1 bonito (about 18"), which i was surprised to land. Not sure what other species I can target right now aside from calicos. I might try for some rockfish, but haven't really found some spots yet. |
