This morning I took out Richard and Donna to chase a few of those tasty Atlantic Bonito. One of my many "rescheduled from april" dates, but things finally came together - the seas were flat calm all morning.

We packed up the Parker and headed out the inlet - and it didnt take long. After a short [...]
