Title: Mucho' Muy Bonita Fish Monger Crush Bonito
Post by: Capt -Jerry P on August 27, 2008, 09:05:37 PM
Had Open Boat Bonito trip today. Greeted to a little more chop than noaa forecasted, but day got nicer as it went on.

Headed South to the grounds and started trolling, DOUBLE AND TRIPLES RIGHT AWAY OF THE TASTY CRITTERS. Constant action had the charter jumping on rods all day. Fish ranged 2-7lbs and the water was crystal clear

Steady hookups all day on the troll, but couldnt get them to bite bait.
Also had 6 big blues and a few google big eye chub mackerals.

Loaded up the Bonito today guys on our first trip.

Give a call if ya wanna get in on this great light tackle action.

Nice meeting all you guys today, Bob Johnathon Brian and friends.

Broken Bobber also made his appearance helping the Monger cause.
Thanks for coffee and spikes soup

Jerry, Wayne and Brian.... you guys make the day easy.... it was a Bone smackdown of epic proportions and especially nice when your all alone on the piece doing it up Monger style.....

As fluking comes to an end people give the Fish Monger boat a call as the Bonita bite is ON as you can see from the pix......

Boys thanx again for a sweet day on the Crayon  .... Your experience and knowledge pays off once again.....  chrz

Good lesson Capt!!  False albacore and Bonito can be mistaken for each other a lot.  If you google them, some regions in the US refer to them as the same fish! 

I looked them up at the begining of the summer after someone landed a false albacore at the Inlet and insisted it was also Bonito.  I was confused and never got a straight answer from searching the internet.

Thanks for clarifying this.  You made it very, very simple to remember which is which!!

Anyone know why they refer to them as the same fish in other regions??  It is clearly 2 different fish here!!

Thanks
