I want to try and catch some bonita out of my kayak to use for shark bait, roughly how far out should i go for them and what's a good lure selection?

you have to say where your from first.

Right, sorry
Palm Beach area

125 to 150 feet is stupid thick with them.... 100 gram pink and white slim thin type will work. drop to bottom jig fast 3 or 4 quick pumps and you should be on....no problem.

It depends on where you launch from. My suggestion would be to go to NOAA's website get a topographical map or chart, then decipher your launch point and that will give you a real good idea of how far to paddle out. I dont know of anyone on here that will be able to tell you to paddle east 45 strokes then east/southeast 2 strokes and you will be in the

you dont live to far from Juno Pier, why dont you target them from there. but if you still want to use a kayak just troll some x rap diving plugs outside of the buoys near the pier. i say around a few hundred yards off the beach is all that is needed.

Never been much of a pier guy, how much is it to get on the pier, and how do you haul your fish all the way up there over the rail?
