ummm , wrong thread Frank

Andy, Nobska, and WH, there busting in front of my office,as I type this, thank god my side of the building has a parking lot view.

Tried around there Saturday, struck out.

we didnt do any better Sunday Glad to hear they are in!

Grrrr...
 

Saturday and Monday made for some very frustrating (but fun?) shore fishing. VERY picky bones with some Albies mixed in, run and gun boat guys, wind (y'day), weeds, and worst of all those few boats that would get between you and the pods only 20 yards off the rocks. So close you couldn't cast. :realmad: 5 or 6 asshats Saturday, down to 2 on Monday. I had visions of razor blade studded 2oz pyramid sinkers... :hihi: For their lines, not the actual captains.

Maybe time to make a switch to waters closer to home. Won't be so difficult to get to work on time, either. I do know I won't be 'down there' this holiday weekend.

I am hoping to head south either Wednesday or Thursday to get an albie fix.... Any reports for general areas that were hot this weekend? Could be catching a ride with Chris and am just as excited about checking out the Onslow Bay!

Chris will find them.
They have been in my area, midcape, last 2 weeks. Got half a dozen yesterday real early in the boat, nice and calm. They got them off the beach today with the SW wind honking all day. Good luck.

Ha,we got some yesterday in some trying conditions. 4-6 doesn't exactly make for a relaxing outing but my celebrity Greek first mate was up to the task

Fished Saturday morning/afternoon in RI. Had one shot at some sort of funny fish but got no love. Saw some serious running and gunning going on. I would have lost my marbles had i been in a boat. I also saw some cheetos floating by which cracked me up.

By my best estimate I had 28 solid casts into schools of Bonito late last week from the rocks over a 10 hour (2 day) period and only brought in one small fish. There were some large 10 pounders out there, too.

Had about 12 shots at rampaging Albies down the cape one morning this weekend and came up with a fail as did everyone else around me: motorboats, yaks, and rock fishers. They were around at least 3 hours consistently. One boat among over a dozen however, seemed to be scoring with ease? :confused: I could see what he was using and I used it to no avail. smh

Found them later on in the morning in close but parking was impossible. Will try again very soon.

Parking should be easy now. Last 2 days with hard SW has had them in close for the sand guys.

Yup. yesterday I was running all over in hard SW winds to find nothing. First trip in a while I didn't find them. The winds just made it more annoying.

Wow, 5000 views
Saturday looking super, could be crowded,,,,,, :fishin::fishin:

Try to be nice it says - ya right = not when Alberts in for a visit !

on the water before the sun is over the horizon and hope to get them on their way into the shallows looking for bait balls being eaten by jacks and hung with them till the albies found them. That is what I did last weekend. As I sat out deep I could see the boats coming from all directions converging on my home port. Luckily they all went in close to shore as that is probably where they got them day before and I got lucky several times out in deeper water out of their eyes. They soon came out looking and I had enough bumper boating and went home.

Nothing attracts a boat like another boat.

Four from the rocks the last 8 hours fished. Law of averages I suppose. Pulled the hook on a few more trying to get them in too quick. I don't like to see them sink, so that's the cost I guess.

This mornings T-storms would usually get me off the rocks if the storms are closer than a count of 5. Not when Albert is loose jawed it doesn't. ;)

Amazing what these fish will make you do. And you can't even eat them, - well some do :yak: -
5000 posts in a months time - wow

20 mph north wind #^&#^&#^&#^&ed everything up for me this morning. No fish visible and most of the huge bait balls got swept away. Took a drive and found MOTS.

This winds got it all messed up. may have a look around tomorrow and see what's up

I will be out looking too in my neck of the woods if winds cooperate.

Very slow here. Had to work for 5 hours for what I got. Did manage 2 hooked lost one and landed one in like 2 feet of water the fight was a blast got to see the whole thing. They have pretty much disappeared compared to last week. Tons of bait though so they will be back.

I see nothing!
New Bedford to WPT

Tog are smalllllllll

I got one albie from shore yesterday on my second cast, caught me completely off guard. That was it for the day, nothing this morning in SoCo for me. It was nice feeling a little nip in the air.

went out this Am from newport overcast and headed towards PJ only to find myself in 4-6 ft rollers that weren't in the forecast turned around at PJ came back into the wind that wasn't there when i left tried in the river nothing to be seen in my 50mile round trip.. only upside I got to see how the boat handles in less the optimal conditions

I felt bad for the boaters today.

Don't feel too bad. I smoked em!

Took a lot of work yesterday to find them in a fishable location on CC. Wind was tough for us shore guys as well as you boat people. Problem was the fish were fairly picky once we found a few small pods. Was rewarded right before the big downpour after way too many hours of casting and searching and figuring out what they wanted.

Got it on a blind cast after they hadn't shown for a good while and had almost called it quits. Probably my most gratifying fish of the year since I had all but given up at that point.

You certainly have patience. Good catch. Well deserved.
