Aqua Naut Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Well headed out with Big Kev for a swim with the kids and the NE wind was just ripping through at 25 notts making fishing alittle uncomfortable. So it was swimming til 7pm and by this time the wind had dropped off alittle to 15 notts so we headed out to the middle of the bay in search for some fun with Bonito. We were not disapointed yet again . We bagged 16 Bonito all going 40 to 50cm all caught on lures. There were plagues of them everywhere. It seems like the Bay is infested with them at the moment. Late afternoon is the go for these guys. The Kings have been quiet so hopefully they kick in soon also. All in all the kids had an absolute ball swimming and fishing and catching fish. Happy new year and plenty of fish!!! Edited January 1, 2011 by Aqua Naut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 good work there mate.... you are right about the bonito being everywhere, i have been seeing them over the weekend busting the surface near the beach around brighton/ramsgate. Couldnt get them to take my SP though... yes, plenty of surface action, but was not able to get any to take the metal lures we were tossing out to them. It was great conitions early yesterday on the Bay, but only managed to get pinkies to bite (so all throw backs), and then the wind blew in, which made it very uncomfortable (3.7 m tinnie with low transom), so had to call it a day with zero.

Try using nothing bigger than 20 grams. Lasers chrome working the best. They are feeding on small white bait so you have to get the size to match.
