North Mole
Submitted by hs1ehlung on Sun, 2009-10-11 18:17
Decided to do some fishing with my dad since he doesn’t usually have time to come fishing with me anymore.
Ending going to the north mole even with the wind but one side was calm enough to get some bait in the water.
Within the first 1 hour, we had our first fish (whiting) and for the next few hours, we had bites on every cast.
Some other fish we caught were some decent size Skippy and a flathead.

Bonitos are usually caught
Bonitos are usually caught on unweighted mulies or bibbed minnows, such as Rapala X-rap SXR14 and Nilsmaster Invincible 12 and 14cm. They can be caught on other lures as well. Even bibless minnows and stickbaits as well as all sorts of soft plastics.
