More Bonito Action

More shore bonito action yesterday! I used my Jigminnows exclusively... My friend Jason Zimmer (pic below) displays a nice bonito, earned the hard way.

 

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.

Bonito Squid

Small squid imitation, size 1, Owner Gorilla hook.

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...
