Took a trip with Buzz and Blond terror (aka Banana Terrorist) to try to find some Albies... Didn't take long, we had plenty of shots all day but the morning is when we had our luck. We tried almost every lure we had, the bait was small. The two lures that worked for us were a deadly #^&#^&#^&#^& and a 1 1/2'' spook.

Thanks to everyone that pointed us in the right direction!!!

Can't count the number of shots we had all day, fish busting all around & under the boat. Bait all over and very, very small. Felt like we could grab them by hand easier than hooking them. Only a handful of boats in the area and I don't think I saw anyone else hooking up at all, not even the numerous fly guys presenting small bait. Good thing for the day is I didn't burn much gas, spent most of the day within 1/4 mile of the mouth of the inlet.

Nice job. Was out yesterday around 6 and had no luck. Saw some breaks here and there but couldnt hook up. Weird fish. Sometimes its on other times you cant gettem to bite.

Great job Goose and friends!!!


Thanks Bill, had alot of fun today learning the area that I thought I new... The story of the fishing clubs was probably my favorite!!!

We found the Albies and couldn't convince them to bite. At one time we had a good bite going on, at a point of rocks and the schools of Albies would circle around and we would set up drifts, casting right into them, not even a hit!!! Bait looked to be a half inch long.

Beautiful day!!!
