9/21 – Bonita & Albies

46 Comments

9/21 – After having to cancel yet another canyon overnighter on Thurs/Friday, Mushin did a crew trip pursuing bonita and other “inshore tunas” with plans to drop for some cod. We were met by still big seas from the Friday/Saturday blow – but there were plenty of bonita and albies on the troll. The fish were not bunched up enough to make chum/jig/bait fishing the way we’d want it.  With plenty of these inshore tunas in the box on ice, we tried to drop for some cod on one wreck but were INUNDATED by sea bass that were sometimes 30+ feet thick off the bottom. Needless to say, the cod never had a chance to get to the clam baits. We were talking knucklehead-sized sea bass all around that jumped all over that baits that had to be released as “out of season”.  We still have lots of great Fall fishing to come with Canyon tuna, stripers/blues/bonita, and bottom fishing.
