I was going to start a thread but I'd thought I better check first, this one is almost 5yrs old ? Anyway
Any kind of fishing I enjoy but OffShore Fishing is a passion. We go Grouper fishing and persue palagic's such as Dolphin,King Mackerel during the cooler months and fish inshore for Snook and Tarpon in Spring. This time of year as well as March the Bonita come through. Bonita is type Tuna but is really in the mackerel family that gets about 30" and are swift, strong willed fish that fight like hell. Great fun on light tackle providing your gear is up to the blistering 100yd runs ?
We went out into the main shipping channels and straight into the gulf and looked for birds and then gun and run to the action, throwing surface and sub surface plugs and spoons will garuantee a good time. We were fishing frenzys of Bonita,Mackeral schools as large as a acre ! The fish were so ingrossed with all the bait the fish were banging into the boat, wish I had pictures or video of that,just to dam busy fishing !
Here's a couple pics of the first two I caught of dozens.
