Stonington CT

Splashed the boat with no leaning post in it at 430 am .
Ran from Watchhill to Newport.
We caught a bunch of Bonito along the way.
I also caught a nice Mahi.1st one ever for me.What a amazing fish.Thing was lit up changing colors and did a few jumps.

However I have been eating nice since then
The Mahi was great and I love eating the Bonita.

Nice mahi, I never thought they would be that far north either. Do you see any others? I never tried eating bonita, good stuff?

Those Green Bonito are excellent table fare, as is Mahi.

Where were you catching them?

I am curious, as I am vacation next week and slip out of Mystic, so I want to go hunting those Bonito and the possible Mahi.
