"Suerte" & " Pez-vela went South for Marlin and Dorado, Suerte was Zipo and came home early for rough sea's, Pez-vela Released a Blue Marlin and Boated 2 Dorado...
"Rubina" Was at the Island and Reports good Numbers Of Red Snapper, Sierra & Bontia, But No Yellow tail
Cold and windy here now, I think after this weekend top water will be done

Steve,
Thanks for all your great fishing updates; it is most rewarding to those of us not in San Carlos.
I hope you are wrong about the top water fishing however it is cold here in Tucson right now at 48 %.
Let us know how things are on your next report!
Thanks,
Tom

| Mel, looks as if bontia is a plant sometimes used as a hedge, possibly floated in from Hawaii, maybe the bonita were all on the opposite of the bontia. We have neither here in Wyoming, so I'm certainly not a pro on the subject. I do think I had a brain freeze here today though. Only poking fun, hope to get down in about a month. Ron

| Well Thanks to Steve I have started lying to my wife. For the last 2 weeks she has been concerned because of the moaning and primal sounds that have I have been making when checking this forum (I tried to blame the sounds on her cooking, but that didn't work so well). She has forbidden me to check the forum, forcing me to do it when she isn't home or I'm at work. She calls and asks me if I am on the forum to which I reply "naw honey I'm looking at Porn". "Ok well as long as its not that darn fishing site". So as I sit here eating taco bell, can anyone recommend a good divorce attorney?

Hi Jimmy...the Bonita we are refering to is not like beef at all, is excellent eating! white meat...looks pink like tuna before cooking, but turns out white and tasty!! I think the ones you are referring to are skipjack, dark and oily and sure looks like beef.
Here are 2 pictures of bonita that show more clearly the differences in the stripes....also they are not as round as the skipjack and have differente teeth...


cheers,
Fernando

You are right about the skipjack but there is a bonita in So Cal that is dark meat and oily. Not many like it. If you take the skin off and cut out the blood line (very dark meat strip) its not bad and make okay tuna sandwiches.
The Cortez bonita is different and you will end up with a good tasting white meat as already posted.

Just Saw The Owners Of "Todo Bueno" They were Fishing along side of Catch-22 Pez-vela Yesterday, My captain told me a Boat Caught & Released 2 stripes and a Blue marlin Yesterday, but was Not sure who it was ?? they just verified it 3 marlins Released and also reported 2 Dorado boated...way to go guys!!, Given they caught a Marlin after we did it Could Be The Last Marlin of the Year...Please stop Sending us The cold North wind from the States....
