Bucktail Jigminnows and Bonito

Bonito snacks! Responsible for two shore bonitos in one afternoon... The first version of this fly called Ghostly Jigminnow I tied back in 2009...see this post. I tie the current version on 30 degree bend hooks, which improves the action of the fly. #bonitominnows

This Year, So Far

So far, this year has been a year of 4wt to 7wt (yes, small) stripers, and also the year of the bonito. We'll have to wait for the fall to see the rest of it...
