Dana Point 6/25 & 6/26

I'm going to have to agree with all three posts above me.

They do fight great especially the larger models. The really pack a punch and test your light tackle.

The searing I have not yet tried. I am going to have to give it a shot! Looks really good. We just brought one back from a trip to San Clemente island this Saturday and made some simple sashimi cuts. It was delicious.

And I agree, if they aren't bled and iced quickly they do become what everyone sees them as... lobster bait.

I believe it's Pacific Bonito, not Bonita

I love catching those feisty little firecrackers on light tackle. For those of us that don't eat raw fish, we used some last season to make the most delicious "tuna salad" sandwiches using Yanni's recipe for tuna salad. Bleed em and ice em fast, they are very good.
