Trip Summary

We went out for a 10hrs trip starting at 6a.m instead of 7a.m to maximize our chance of catching the bonitoes and use as live bait for marlins. After few minutes out we found the first school of bonito but no bite. After going to the flinders bank 2 hours later we hooked 7 bonitoes at the same time caught 5 and used 3 as live bait. While getting ready to troll with live bait we saw some doradoes at the back attacking the live bait .so we used a piece of bonito as bait and were able to catch a nice bull. We continued trolling with live bait but on that day the marlin did not come. One bonito died by the attack of the dorado and another one was cut by a wahoo. We tried trolling with artificial lures and rappalas closer to shore at high tide with the intention of catching a wahoo but no bite. We were back with a nice dorado and some bonitoes.
