Those little bonitos are candy bait in SE Florida. Out on the live bait rods or in the Tuna Tubes is where mine go. They are the only bait that I have had simultaneous double hookups with. The local bait and tackle store pay $5 each for those and sells them for $10. Reviewing BWE archives, I believe it was Madscientist who took a nice Halibut on a Bonito.

Balloon clean-up is a common kayak videoed occurrence on the East Coast also. One of the fringe benefits of fishing close to the water is easy garbage removal -- Bravo!

Cool to see the variety of Rockfish, Congrats on the Sunset! I would have mistaken it for a Vermillion, What is the key difference?

Liked and subscribed again with my other email. Thanks Quang.
