It was a mini PFIC get together with Mahigeer and EgoNonBaptizo today at Avalon. It was my first time fishing with EgoNonBaptizo. What an angler he is! I do not say any about Mahigeer. We all know about him too well :) We made a nice team, helping each other, joking around, fishing together. Mahigeer brought the legacy of G-dude so we could fish with him. I had a joy of casting a few times with his rod Mahigeer brought with. He must have been watching over us. We got some early spring Bonito bites! EgoNonBaptizo had two really nice size ones. Mahigeer is always helping others first before he takes care of himself. He got back to his bonito blues for the good old time sake but I am sure he will change the tune as he and EgoNonBaptizo will stay overnights. (I came back home after a day of fishing). Very nice day without much wind. EgoNonBaptizo was killing it but I will leave those for his and Mahigeer's later reports! Here are some pics from me:

And this spanish mac came to my metal jig. It is one of my fav fish to eat. I know it is small. But it is a japanese thing.

Although it is nice to know what species are resident and thus typically available throughout the year, species like bonito can really show up at anytime thus providing a little additional excitement.

Nice bonito! Great size! Haven't fished with you yet. Look forward to that sometime! Sounds like you had a great PFIC crew out there and you cooperated to catch more fish! I love hearing that!

Thanks for the report!

Thank you! I look forward to joining you too. It was true cooperation among us three. Without Mahigeer's fine netting job, I would not be able to land the one I am holding!

Tuna melt sounds good. I have never tried that. Do you have a special recipe???
I cut small pieces of the bonito and get a pan on low heat, slow cook it with a mix of a light beer (coors light) and water. You can use water only if you don't like beer. After about 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, it starts looking like tuna out of the can consistency. Drain out the remaining liquid and let it cool down.

Get the meat and mix in some mayo, cut onions and relish. I like white bread with pre sliced cheese. Add the mix and grill it on a non stick pan each side using butter. Good stuff with a bag of chips and a cold beer...

Thanks for your recipe share! I love beer! Will try it. I like tataki (sheared raw fillets in ginger scallion sauce). I use butan torch to shear the bonito fillets. Immediately after you finish torching it, put them in water with ice to cool it down. Take the fillet out and dry it. Then cut into sashimi pieces. Then marinate them in a sauce mixing soy sauce and lemon juice with lots of scallions and cut gingers. Put them in your fridge for an hour and take them out when ready to eat!
