Wow...thanks for subscribing and sharing this video. I will do my best to continue to post great videos. I am still new to this type of fishing and struggle somedays. But at the end of the day I will take a bad day of fishing over a good day of work. I hope you do great Friday. I fished the south pier and the light pole number was 57 I believe. Thanks for subscribing my friend.

I use 50 lb braid line with a 3 oz weight, 6' 40 lb mono leader and a #1 Squid spoon for mackerel, and in case a kingfish or bonita decides to take it. It's easer to land most fish without the line breaking. Aside from the spoon getting cut off a few times, the only time I have lost this rig was due to accidental hooks ups with sting rays.

What did you end up doing with the bonita? Eatting or something else?

I was going to use it for bait, but I found a gentleman who said he would eat it, so I gave it to him.

What lure or bait did you use. I was there this morning (4/28/24) with my wife and we didn't catch anything worth a damn.

I was actually fishing for Spanish Mackerel with a Gotcha plug. Was not expecting to catch Bonita. But I did learn my lesson and now have a net.

@@Fish-Man-Mike I never use lures with treble hooks because by the extra time it takes to unhook an undersized mackerel, it is dead.
