On another note, I was fishing for mackerel in the harbor this morning and caught a 12 inch bonito. My first. There were mixed sized macs present but a bunch of bonito came busting out of the water and one hit my jig. Cool.
Bonito reported in Cape Cod Bay and now further north? Hell, bring on the global warming.

In the Ptown area we have gotten a few 22 to 24 inch, fat bonito, slow trolling Diawa SP minnows on spinning rods. When we use smaller umbrella rigs we get the 10 to 12 inch bonito 2 to 3 at a time.
