Shore Albie weighed on vineyard, why it was weighed I don't know but good to see anyway

Was out today birds all over but they were on the crab hatch with a lot of small bait under them but that was it

I was out today too. Saw one pod at like 7 am....I was soooooo close to my first bone of the season from mainland, but alas it popped off after one long run.

once the tide slacked out I saw nothing and went home.

I will be out again friday, hopefully with a little more success. almost there!

Correction: Albie was not shore caught, sorry

Can't say for sure but coming around Monomy ,,, several tight 60 second blow ups all over the place, didn't look like Devils

looking good, and my Hogy's are due to be delivered any day now!

I was out this morning from 7 till 1130. No funny fish spotted, no funny fish hooked. had a couple little dink bass darting out of the rip to nail anything on top, that's about it.

Spent most of the day yesterday looking for them. Launched out of Westport.....went east to Mishaum point and west to Sakonnet point with no sightings of any bonito.
We did get into some good sized bluefish though.

spent some time camping on the water with my wife and pooch in the lower cape the past couple days. Not a sign of any bonito or albies, not even that much bait over there. had some blues early at sunrise each morning off the rocks, then listened to oversized schoolies hammering bait all night long in the bay 10 ft from my tent. Looked like lots of smaller mullet in the bay getting smashed. Not much bait out front to speak of, plenty of lazy birds sitting on the rocks...

SWE seems to have reported otherwise

Ya, just seen that,,,,
I like this thread,,, keep looking U's guys, I'll do the same tomorrow south side CC

Like a kid waiting for Santa LOL

Just keep repeating
"It's the internet; it's the internet; it's the . . ."

Someone found some already, not cape.

JUST GREAT!

I developed engine problem today,,, going to change out the vst filter and hope that does it...

Didn't see any either

Guppy, what kind of a motor are you running and what makes you think it's the vst? I wouldn't know where to the vst filter on my Yamaha

I saw a pod of them crusing in soco yesterday. Bonito or albie i don't know. About 15' from shore blasting all the way out of the water. I took my 3000 casts with nothing but a rudderfish and a couple snappers.

Yeah, that's a little more than I am comfortable doing myself.....

I had never heard of a vst.... which is why I pay a mechanic to keep it in good order.

Holy crap, I am never going near my vst filter after watching that, i would f that up so bad!

Theyve been in pretty thick for about a week now. Yesterday was like combat fishing.

Geeees, I'm dying to get down there, tell them to wait

I could f it up also, time will tell... LOL

It is not a big deal but be sure to have a new gasket as well, the old one will have stretched from ethanol and no longer fit once you remove it.

I have over 1200 hours on my Yami 115 4S. I run Yami ring free and Fuel Ox fuel conditioner. I change the 10 Micron fuel filter ever 50 hours. I don't know any thing about the filter you speak of. Should I be worried?

Get this boat stuff out of here :)

On a serious note, bonito and an albie landed today from shore

Got a bunch of species today from the rocks

Bass, blues, sea bass, scup, bonito and albie and the elusive Coney Island white fish plus a seagull and a tern

Bonito would pop up quick, small window to get into em

Pink hogy epoxy jig worked great.
