3/0 - 4/0 ganged limerick hooks Bonito are probably the best light line sportfish available in the metro area. These small tuna are powerful fighters and hit hard and fast.Baits used are live Yellowtail or small herring set just below the surface. Whole mulies baitcast and slowly retrieved are proven takers and a trace must be used to avoid bite offs. They will readily take lures and if you don't succeed at getting hits after a few casts try a different coloured lure or change the pattern of your retrieve. Best times are early morning and last thing in the afternoon.
