light tackle bonito fun - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey guys, I thought I would post a quick report of my light tackle fooling around at la jolla. You may not all get this but I'm from the east coast and we consider bonito to be one of the most desirable light tackle fish. Mostly the appeal is their surface feeding tendencies, they can be hard to catch, only show up for a short window and can throw down some screaming runs with light line. I went out after hearing about their arrival and wasn't disappointed. Casting small metals I caught 6 bones up to about 6# along with a handful of large macks. I was hoping for a rogue yellow but never got one. I did see another guy bag a white sea bass on the yoyo jig though so that was cool.
