How to
Catch Bonito and Fishing for Bonito Tuna
Bonito
can be caught by trolling a small lure just offshore and around offshore
reefs. Bonito tuna are fantastic fun on light gear and two or four-kilo
spinning outfits
Angling & Fishing for
Bonito:
Bonito can be caught by trolling a small lure just offshore and around offshore reefs.
 Bonito respond to the same
techniques which take skipjack and mackerel tuna, and also fall
for those employed to target salmon, tailor and kingfish. Boat
anglers sometimes take good hauls by trolling diving minnows
parallel with the shoreline, close to headlands and rock ledges,
or by casting and retrieving lures around "washes" of broken
white-water adjacent to these areas. Land-based anglers also do
well at times by casting and retrieving lures from the ocean
rocks, jetties and breakwalls. In addition to lures and flies,
bonito will attack pilchards and garfish rigged on ganged hooks,
as well as live baits and strip baits or cubes of fish flesh ,
especially when these are free-lined in a berley trail.
Bonito are fantastic fun on light gear
and two or four-kilo spinning outfits allow these fish to
display their full potential when boat fishing. When fishing
from the shore or jetty, a heavier spinning outfit will often be
necessary for casting distance. In which case a six-kilo spin
stick should do the job. I would prefer to fish lures for
bonito, but they will take a range of small fish and cut baits
Best Bait: Garfish, Herring, Live minnow,
Pilchard, Slimy mackerel (blue), Squid, Yellowtail scad (yakka)
lure: Jigs, Slice, Slugs
Saltwater Fish -
What bait to use for fishing - a list of
saltwater baits with the main "diners" who will be tempted.
Other Lures: High speed chrome baitfish lures, chrome spoons, slugs, flathead jigs and
plastic squid for trolling and metal lures such as Juro Shiners and Halco Hex
slices work for spinning. Saltwater flies such as Clousers and Deceivers.
Tackle
Link: 3 - 7kg main line.
Hook: No. 2/0 - 6/0 Mustad 34007 Stainless Steel.
Rig: Whole live or dead bait under a float. Light to medium trolling and
spinning gear. Fly gear.
More info: Locked Half Blood Knot
Hints
Fish frequent wash areas of rocky headlands and inshore reef areas so fish close
to rocks. Best fishing is at dawn. Trolling over reefy areas and around
headlands. Trolling speed of around 5 knots works best. Summer and autumn
produce good fishing.
Current Pacific Bonito All Tackle
Record (IGFA) 21 lbs. 5 ounces.
Current Atlantic Bonito All Tackle
Record (IGFA) 18 lbs. 4 ounces.
This picture shows the difference between common Bonito and
Watson's Leaping Bonito. The Middle fish is the common bonito
