Will have to try the clarkspoon next time. Do you put a small trolling weight in front of it or use a bubble? Thanks . . .

I have only caught Bonito while trolling a Mann stretch 25. Like I said, no hits on a gotcha.

A good way to catch them this time of year is with a white pompano jig. That's how we catch them off the pier.

Bubble in front. Also try a Hopkins Spoon. Backwhen peoplewere having trouble getting Bonita to hit anything, we were constantly hooking up (and still do) on bubble & clarkspoons as well as hopkins spoons by themselves & deadly dicks. I DO NOT like Gotchas, they are a pita.

Thanks reel and yak, will try both of your suggestions next time. Have always tried to keep some in the freezer for bait.
