Also known as Striped Bonito. The common name is evidently Spanish. Usual weight from six to ten pounds. A recent comer from the South to more northerly shores, in limited numbers, far as the coast of Massachusetts. The Bonito is gamy. Its flesh is prized for the table. Small schools run along the shores of Long Island from the middle of August to the middle of October. Trolling is done with squids of metal, bone, or cedar-wood. Use large-sized Blue-fish tackle and fish same as for Blue-fish.
