Bonito are great bait.
if you get one that is around 1-2lbs those are the best bait for threshers! |

they are fragile though and die quickly in the tank.

About 6 years ago my pops and I were fishing for threshers off of Cardiff using live bonita for bait. A 15lb. yellowtail ate ( or should I say attempted to eat) a 15 incher... couldn't believe it! Hungry little bugger!
