Bonito Have Arrived On Cape Cod

This weekend we encountered hundreds of diving birds working over fast-moving Atlantic Bonito, which just arrived here on Cape Cod.

On Saturday my friend Jay Mazzola, my wife Lauren and myself, hit the water together in search of these speedsters.

It was not long until we found dozens of terns and other seabirds diving into the water, plucking peanut bunker and other baitfish from the surface of the ocean.

Suddenly whitewater began erupting amongst the baitfish, and there was no doubt that either bonito or albies were feeding beneath the birds!

  • Great stuff, Ryan! Mono tied directly to jig or is that a fluoro leader? Is there any hope of catching from shore?

  • Awesome stuff !
    Brought me me back to the 80s- 90s . We had a ball with those fish back then too.
    Reminded me of fishing with my ex wife.
    Hey, 23 years with a moron like me deserves a medal.
    We still laugh about the great cape cod adventures we shared.

  • Bonito are so cool! Awesome looking and they taste great. Ryan you need a seat belt! Lauren, that looked a lot harder to bring in than your first little Striper! Holding the rod above the reel will make it a lot easier.
