Bonita were running so close to shore I wanted to jump and grab me a couple....they were schooling (6/10 at the time) in les than 10" of water....was a really cool sight/ Kids had a great time chasing them up and down the beach. Hooked one ...20 secods later broke me off.. ( 12lb mono no leader on the only 1oz white bucktail i had)....they were running so close I wish I had a net. Went back home all wired up.. 10 mnts later got a call from a friend asking me if I wanted to go for some pompano...guess what ....I did....so back to the beach .....this time I was loaded, but no bonita anywhere. oh well !!!set the other two rods... friend put 4. We pulled 8 pompanos on dead shrimp . Most of them were small , but legal, I'd say . Two were 16" +.

i saw a guy a t the east end ..he was pulling one after another i could tell from the distance....he would grab the rod and walk back about 60+ feet and started reeling them out....I saw him doing that at least 6 times.... The bonita were cool to watch that close ....you could almost step on them.

| Nice report. The bonito were literally on the sand as it washed up in PCola as well. I guess I got lucky with the first one I caught with a Gotcha! tied directly to my 12lb fluro test but after getting broke off on the second one, I used a lure with a swivel

| i've caught several off the pier with a white jig tied straight to 4# test.... light drags are the key here, and let them run and wear themselves out... i'm going to try to catch one on 2# test this year.... i hope.
