Growing up on Cape Cod has been the best! From blue crabbing with my grandfather, to mating on charter boats and everything in between - fishing has remained my obsession.
Bonito Tackle
To begin, in terms of tackle for these fish, I like a reel anywhere from size 2500-4000.
I like to use 15-25 lb braided line, and I connect my braid to a 15-20 lb fluorocarbon leader using a uni-to-uni knot.
For a rod, I like to use a 7’-8’ medium-light action rod.
As far as lures go, I love any brand of epoxy jig. For weight, I use 3/4 oz or 7/8 oz.
Pictured above is a bonito I caught on a 7/8 oz brown epoxy jig in Cape Cod Bay. On this day I witnessed bonito breaking on baitfish underneath birds.
I’ve found that in certain circumstances, color matters a ton, especially when the fish are keyed-in on one type of baitfish.
