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.

George, had all the parts in stock, planned on doing this last year and bailed out, thanks..

Paul, if it ain't broke, don't fix it :-), I think it's a 500 hr maintainance thingy,,, hoping it'll fix my problem... Oh! Don't go back to work, you been there, hey? :-)

Chris,,, sorry bout the boat stuff,,, congrats on that great day

nice! I'm reluctantly going to go out early tomorrow am at first light, I don't like fishing on the weekends but i can't fish at all this week so I'll go :fence:

Saw albies rolling on SW shoal yesterday while seabass fishing. Probably a sign they'll be inshore soon on schedule.
Wish they were bonito, however.

we scouted for funnies this morning. too many boats pushing them around - later in the week i'll have a real go at them. Chrissy, my 7 yr old, got a 10 pound bone though

Awesome!!!:uhuh:

They both out fish u now don't they? Way to go Go Chris :-)

Excellent... I bet she was pumped

went out yesterday Family day only didn't see any but there is a ton of bait starting to dump out of the sakonnet river.. was going today in the boat but couldn't get anyone to go

thats a thick one for sure

congrats that is a big bone!

my weekend fishing plans got scraped, spent sunday morning / first half of the day in newport with the wife and dog, saw the small boat armada chasing a small school of something, looked fishy to me...

I might sneak out tomorrow am if I can before work, my schedule sucks until like the 14th, can't fish much until then!

Went out Saturday morning with my son specifically targeting Bones & Albies. I'm proud to announce he broke his cherry twice - 1st of each caught. Caught 15+ between us and left them biting. Still working on the video.

Awesome shots!!!
Good for you guys...gettin' in on the action before this snot showed up

very nice figured they would put a feed on before the storm, any color or lure better than another

We found them trolling Yozuri crystal minnows then blind casted Epoxy Jigs in green & bone colors.

Woo Hoo !
What a day! Congrats

great job...my favorite pile of Rhody rocks was extremely disappointing for tunoids this weekend...

Nice job Mike

Nice Moses.

We were out last Friday and saw nothing. Went about 40 miles in the boat.

How's the chocolate milk I mean ocean looking up there??? :af::af:

I took friday off, going to head out then with 2 of my friends and the pooch looking for fish.

I might try to get out early just myself, but it doesn't look good, work is in the way! thursday could be good! must go fish!!!:spin::spin:

Looks like you guys had a great time.....i hope to get a chance at catching some before they're gone

this storm is having a hard time leaving..... the dirty water is gonna last for a while

who knows what it'll be like when it clears up

Boats Up and running,,, now I wish I could swop out some of my worn out body parts,, bad knee, pinched nerve in my neck


And caught 1st Alby of the year during the test run...
