We noticed a school of Bonito of the Tollgate Islands at Batemans Bay. Dave hooked up to a very nice 12 pound fish. It was a great fight on a 3-5kg Revolution series T-Curve backed up with a 2500 size Diawa Tierra reel loaded with braided line. Fish would only strike on a gold metal slice after trying a number of different hard body lures. The fight lasted about 10mins. Excellent rod work Dave after we thought we might lose this one. Great netting job Noodles.......
that doesnt look like a bonito fight haha. usually the bolt off in the opposite direction rather than swim down
