Bonita for bait... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I fished a bonie last Saturday. It didn't get bit but macks don't always get bit either. I check the stomachs of every fish I catch and I find lots of different things in YT. Dines, Spanish, greens, smelt, grunion, shrimp, red crabs, senoritas, black smiths, small rockfish, chovies, and even flying fish in el nino year. YT may have preferred prey but they are opportunistic predators and will eat what they find. Good job baiting what was available. Mike
