This morning the wind is barely moving out of the West-Northwest, the water is calm and the no see 'ums are out in full force. Take insect repellent if you head to the inlet today!
There have been some inquiries regarding Bonito. The Atlantic Bonito is not common in most of Florida and is a deep water fish. It is also known as Northern Bonito, Katonotel and Boston Mackerel. The Blue Bonito also called Little Tunny, False Albacore or Little Tuna is common on all Florida coasts and roams from inshore to deep sea. The latter is what we commonly catch at Sebastian Inlet and most refer to it as Bonito. The Atlantic Bonito does not have spots on its lower half, whereas the Blue Bonito does; both are excellent fighters. There is no fish named Bonita.
Our first photo today features Taro Ny who landed this 15 lb. Bonito off the north jetty, using a shiny lure. Taro reported this fish put up a great fight!
