They are called "bonita feathers"....a lot of locals make their own, which at times works reallly well......I buy mine from "Johnnies Sport Fishing"...
I kill 'em with this model....although I havn't been able to use it this season.

They actually look like they have much potential...

And also ...
Do you apply bait to the feathers ?
Ot just like that?

I've had mine for years, i bought several of them but I think they were around 3 or 4 (not sure). Johnnies doesnt have the BEST prices but certainly a good variety.

i use 4 feathers but be careful getting 4 bones :Shocked:on one line is really difficult.
for bonitos i don't put bait on them n' for macs only if they are picky:Rolls Eyes:

good quality feathers for 3-4 bucks
4 or 5 feathers with a large chrome tape Krockodile spoon as the weight knocks the bones and mega macks dead.

You can take a black sharpie and put some mackerel stripes on it, that might kill em..

Thanks Owner626,
Redondo pier holds some monster spider crabs I have pulled numerous crabs that would not fit into the hoop net. I used to fish Redondo pier quite often and have pulled quite a few out of there. I have not fished mush off that pier in the last three years or so kinda out of the loop. I tried it out last night the spider crabs were definitely not crawling but still managed 1, a local crab, and a tiny blue crab. I usually don't do well around the full moon Ill be back at it again maybe this week or next week.

Never fished for Bonito, but saw 2 guys kill in like a hour 6-7 fish and i been there bottom fishing for like 5 hours got 2 Rays lol... so I think i might try, so 4 fly's and what leads for the weight? "Cast-A-Bubble"? or ...? I fish Oceanside since its kinda my local pier being 30 min away, but if Redondo hooks up alot i have no prob making that mission...

Spider Crabs Blah :Dog Piss:
I got a big one diving once and the legs were hollow with some poor imitation stringy wannabe meat inside. Taste like :Dog Piss:
Worked on Redondo Pier at Castagnola's in 1977 and used to get them killer King Crab Legs sometimes mmm mmm Good. I would never touch food off a used plate when I was a busboy with one exception King Crab Legs.
'Can I take your plate' no doggy bag. Then stash the untouched King Crab legs and my mom would scarf them down when I got home :ROFL:
Learned spanish from the cooks and dishwashers that came in to play on Baja surf trips. Then met my Chilean wife later who spoke 10 words of english at The Red Onion :ROFL:
23 years later still tappin that puntang :ROFL:
I used to make up names for fishing spots on another site and one spot was called ' Punte de Brazil ' and ' Casa de Mapas ' :ROFL:
Punta de Brazil was La Samba next to the short pier.:ROFL:
Casa de Mapas was the Chart House at Redondo/Hermosa border. :ROFL:

Cast a Bubble is old school. Guys used to cast them 1/2 full with a 5' leader to a blue/white feather, Pump and wind to make a splash for bonito over by Joes Crab Shack off the rocks.
Crocodiles blue/chrome or castmasters work good too. :Secret:
