they are in the rainfish, and the rainfish have been literally right in the surf and in and out of the inlets, hence the presence of the bonito in the surf and in the inlets...
Last year's bonito run was only OK - we've had years in the past where it was like jigging mackerel for weeks on end on the local lumps out to the hole - last year was more of a pick with a few insane days... Some years it was non stop almost every time you targeted them...
Like any other specie that is a little more "pelagic" then others, bonito are quite cyclical and frequent our area when conditions are right for them, just like the mahi!

When you say that you've been catching them close to a month, have you guys been getting good numbers? All the reports I'm reading have maybe 3 or 4 per boat. And last year was the best bonito run I"ve personally seen in the past ten years. Maybe I'm hitting the wrong boats haha
