Bonito in La Jolla?
 

Does La Jolla ever get runs of bonito? I was just thinking about this as there is just about every other so-cal fish in la jolla. Usually areas that are home to yellowtail are also home to bonies. If you dont want to say here can you pm me? Thanks :jig:

They show up occasionally. Hate catching those things when targeting yt...a big nuisance. But blue marlin like 'em.:)

I don't think it's a secret that it's been a couple of years since the bonies were around in any numbers or size. Some years they are so thick they are a nusence, with the small ones destroying the sibikis and the bigger ones tearing up the live mack baits. I miss them. They are good eating, hard fighters, and user friendly for kids and novices. I've caught them far off shore, right out sdie the surf, and all the way back in the Jst boat basin. I've seen 15lbres in LJ and all around the Coronado Islands. Just acres of foaming bonito of LJ Big bones on the surface iron is fun. We haven't seen the usual spring migration of the schooly YT, bonito, or the stove pipe sized cuda in a few years. We'll see the 3B's and YT again though.

^The water's been cold going on three years. The squid like it.

Bonito from La Jolla, on 10lbs mono lots of fun on summer 2008 :)

mmm sashimi :] hope they come around like that again, those look like solid 5-7 lbers, lots o fun :D
