Nice job on the bonito. Most people think the limit is 10 bonito per day/person, but everyone should know that the limit is:
Bag limit 10 fish,
only 5 of which can be under 24" (fork length or under 5#).
Most bonito caught from shore are under 5#, so the limit should be 5.

That's correct, 5 is the limit....
Oh and thanks for the report. Have you tried fishing with Fly's? Nothing more exciting than fishing with Fly's for Bonito.

It's called a "splasher rig." Some people call it " Cast-A-Bubble Fly" but that is too long for me to say, lol.

Thats the Textbook way to go. But i have ventured off and tried other things with the fly. I tie on several large bonito flies on a super long leader with a 1 ounce Torpedo on the bottom. Cast far as you can and retrieve. When you hook up on a Bonito, freespool it. Let the Bonito go back to the heard. The others will hook up on the other flies. I call it the Improved Sabiki rig. You can also C-rig with several flies or one. Or split shot. Tried them all and worked. When the bite is on the bubble is not needed. Fly fisherman dont use any weights or sound, and they catch on the surf and Jetty. But i have yet to try what you told me. Filling the bubble with BB's for extra sound. Imitating a school of bait fish. [/i]

Nice catch :!:
You would do well at the Tourney at Lake Irvine with those. I hear the Kitties go crazy over some fresh Bonito.
