Thanks for the report! Man I need to go fishing and never fished Dondo, nor caught a bone. So Im planning on heading out there next Saturday for a stab at getting pulled around by a bonito. I hear mixed reviews on the taste of them so I'll most likely catch and release. Where do you launch?? (from the Ruby's diner locations other posts mention?)

jbl I'd follow the other thread on where to park/launch. As it turns out I got lucky and have a friend who docks a boat in the marina, so he gets me in.

As far as eating them, they taste just like any good tuna you have had. The issue is that the texture is softer compared to most tuna. But if you treat them like tuna, which means bleed them out when you catch them and get them on ice right away, they are great.

Let us know how you do!

Keep an eye out on the weather. It might be pretty windy this weekend.

That was me in the new Outback..."and saw a guy fishing that looked like he had an electric motor on his Hobie?"
I love that Bixpy Jet Motor...so cool for an old lazy guy and such a pleasure to troll with...it never gets tired...LOL...!
Fun morning with no Sport boat or Private boat pressure...although that really keyed the fur bags on the kayakers... I don't mind losing a fish once in a while to feed the thieves but when they take a $10+ jig...then it gets personal...

...LOL...the wrist rocket and some paintballs are the only way to go when they get that thick...

Love Dem Bonez...Sunday's dinner...

Dang, Jim, how many people are you feeding?!

I pan-seared some last night with my ahi spice. So good.

More of that tonight...

THanks for the heads up gents, not going this weekend since I'll be in Glamis, but am shooting for Sat Dec 8. If anyone plans on going and would like company please let me know as I've never been to RB to kayak fish.
