Hey folks, Capt. Mike here

In this new Salty Cape shoot I joined Diogo from Gorilla Tactics Charters to chase late season bonito on topwater. Feeds were quick and the fish were a little finicky, but nothing beats watching them crush plugs on the surface.

Approach:

We slid in from upwind, staying patient and leading the fish with long downwind casts. The key was adjusting retrieve speed. Sometimes they wanted it burned across the crown, other times a slower pace kept them pinned.

Crush ALL the situations:

Microbait: Micro Chugs for slick-water, finicky feeds
Distance Punch: Surface Erasers for accurate, long casts on windy days and scattered schools
Surface Shape-Shifters: Surface Erasers for picky albies in mixed feeds (The most adjustable retrieves)
Finessers: Surface Erasers for subtle, high-control presentations and low-commotion eats
Topwater Mayhem: Surface Erasers + Micro Chugs for fun, explosive topwater eats

Simple. Smart. Salty Cape style.

Hogy Micro Chug Popper

Noisy Fish Whisperer: Not so subtle topwater for scattered fish after the feed dies.

Calls fish back into the fold.
Even More Fantastic Eats

How I Fished It:

Pop and Stop: Impart long pauses, letting the plug sit before the next chug. Most eats come right after the pause.

Stick retrieve: Steady retrieve with steady pops to cover more water when fish are spread out.

How I Fished It:

Softbait Retrieve: Fish it like a topwater softbait. The same great greats BUT no re-rigging. Steady medium retrieve with short sweeps and twitches, keeping it moving across the crown.

Stick retrieve: With tip up, let the Hogy Surface Eraser wobble an inch below the surface resulting for longer hang time in strike zone. (Keeled for action)
