Oceanside Harbor Making Bait - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mr_Fixit · 07-25-2016, 08:27 AM

I was there yesterday. Outside the harbor, the bait is really small. 3-4 inches. Not bad for fishing within the harbor, but not very good for YT. I tried anyway but the Bonito were something of a nuisance.

Good to know and thanks for the report.

How big were the boneheads?

If you can get 8-10" bonies, I'll take them over greenbacks.

The bones were that size and bigger. I've tried to keep a couple in the tank but they don't stay alive for long where the macs stay alive all day.

Has anyone had any success catching yellows, or anything other than sharks with Bonito?
