Thanks! Bones are so fun to catch.

Congrats to ptn on very nice YT and thanks for lip smacking pics.

Hmmm... I like catching bonita of that size, but I also like not playing with aggressive HH. Thanks for the heads up.

A fishless report within a fish report:

I went yesterday. All I could find were bonita. easly c&r'd 7. some of these were inhaling the bait and hook, i'm sure a couple died. the biggest was 5lbs gut hooked towards the end of the day so kept it.

My new shark deterrent policy is to keep no dead fish in areas where it washes out into the sea leaving a scent slick. I'm bagging all dead bait (lobster season) and stowed fish below deck using a wet towel to keep cool.

NO sharks bothering me tuesday.
