Today Mark and Tom brought Rafe along for his first bonito expedition. We beat the sun looking for some bass or blues for a warm up but they stayed hidden. The local bones are on vacation so we took a ride. I spotted a few birds and as we pulled up a small pod of bones popped up. The first cast had Tom hooked up and a little while later it was in the net. We waited and a larger school came and Mark hooked up on his first cast. The fish left and the quest continued. there wasn’t much showing but we managed to get a few blues and a bass. At one point there was a school of Black Sea Bass chasing bait on the top. We pulled one of those out. Not to be outdone Rafe managed to get a sea robin to take a fly.
The quest continues
