Please let us know the tackle you used, and the artificial. Please post pictures with you, fish, and tackle if possible.

Juno last week...

Post by Albacized »

While it wasn't red hot, my trip to the sunshine state last week resulted in a couple of memorable catches....These fish were caught on x raps...that was the only bonita I caught while I caught several jacks that were decent sized...also did well with spanish on the smaller x raps (not pictured)...I will say that when I was on the 'other' coast (Naples), I simply 'murdered' the spanish macks...but they were only a little better than half the size as the ones I caught in Juno...I'd take the jump in quality over quantity any day of the week

I was using a cabo 40 loaded with 20 lb Spiderwire Stealth matched with a 3 pc 7 1/2' St Croix Tidemaster Travel Rod - the Jack all but had me spooled (saw lots of silver from the reel's arbor before I stopped him and the bone tried its best to do the same)...some folks were surprised that 15 lb seagar(sp) flourocarbon was enough to deal with these fish

PS - it was a barracuda that got the last 1/3 section of the bonita - it kinda spoiled the occasion a bit, but the good news is that I did get a full fight out of the fish before it was mauled almost straight down from the pier as I was waiting for someone to gaff it (and someone took it for shark bait)
