Great morning at tidelands

[Spektrum]

Showed up to tidelands at 5:30 am to find a flock of pelicans diving on bait fish just off the shore. Quickly launched the tube and was quickly rewarded. Bonito! Threw crankbaits and jerk baits for a total of 12 bass and 6 bonito. Great fight on a 6lb trout set up. All fish were caught in less than 15 feet of water.

Nice. We fished that area today. No bones but steady action all morning on the bass.

The bonito were actively feeding on bait balls just a few yards off the beach until about 7:30 am. I think I was just lucky to be at the right place at the right time. Never seen a bait ball getting attacked there before.

Cool!

That is awesome! Sounds like a fun time out there. Thanks for the update.

There's a short window every fall where there's bait balls and topwater action in the bay. You may have hit the front or tail end of it.
