Nook Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Where abouts were you fishing raf? There seems to be a lot of these leaping bonito (as well as the odd standard bonito and king) well up into Port Hacking at the moment - have seen quite a few fishing in Gymea Bay recently.

KingsRule Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well done! Cant believe your still getting into them, have heard a few reports of them from the hacking, would have thought the water was to cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) to Fishraider, Raf!! You've found a top site to share your fishing tales! Well done on the Leaping bonitos! Don't they go on light gear?? Always fun to catch. How do you cook them? Most folk I know just use them for bait - they reckon, salted down, it is one of the best bream baits ever!

TheDiko Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Great work mate, they are a lot of fun on 4lb Roberta, I caught and ate mine on sunday, just coated them in egg, then crumbed them and onto the fry pan and wallah! Lovely tasting Bonito IFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
