perfect

Blues were separate from the tunoids today. Finally got an Albert on metal from the beach and not a fly. Going to try for the Sarda since they seem to be around in another location. Bass were MIA.

I did use 12 and 15 flouro. I've found it's too light for fishing the surf around any rocks so I'm staying with 20.

BatesBCheatin 10-04-2014 09:25 PM

Hope it's temporary, but the fish were really thinned out today and some of their usual locations were barren. Probably due to days of N/E wind cooling the waters and pushing the bait farther out??? Other places 10lb blues had seemed to replace them. I'm fishing mainland locations.

heading out Monday if the wind abates but concerned about dirty water

I will be there early yellow sea hunt on Ch 11 the boats name is

Yes Dear ! give me a shout

BatesBCheatin 10-05-2014 05:01 PM

I'll be out there somewhere between lighthouses in SoCo on the rocks. Hopefully my Rhody bud will get out there with his 4x4 so we can cruise the beaches later on.

Got to get after them now as I strongly doubt they'll be around much longer, especially from the mainland shores. :bc:

OK , I,ll call 1ST ><><:buds:

BatesBCheatin 10-06-2014 09:26 PM

TGFFF
 
Had to travel a bit to find them, but I'm sure glad the funny fish are still around in good numbers and in close thanks to the those south winds. :claps: So awesome just watching those green bastards ravage bait en masse. Did not see the bones today, tho.

There were some real nice bass mixed in where I was. It's odd to me that I didn't care all that much to bother with them???

Now, how do I get back there tomorrow without incurring the wrath and punishment of others!?!

puppet 10-06-2014 10:28 PM

Went to MV with my friend Bill(ctsurfrat)....The fishing for us was
slow and we really didn't see much bait or activity.The most feeding
we witnessed was 4 drives a dozen albies made around a jetty.
Lucky for me I landed one. My first.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ps8e2cef57.jpg

the meat stick with the 30# leader....it was the lightest leader I had.
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ps7f5460df.jpg

It was a pretty cool chain of events. We stopped into #^&#^&#^&#^&'s Bait &
Tackle in Oak Bluffs, and Doug tells us to go to X for albies.

Hahaha...well this is the first time I have ever had someone from a
tackle shop give such solid info. It was so solid, that even Doug
himself shows up at the spot to fish the next morning. Then after I
hook up, he drops his rod and helps me land the sucker. Note, he has
only landed one albie himself this year and he drops his gear while the
fish are blasting through...to help me. Awesome!

I have only attempted to target these fish a few hours over the last
couple years. I totally lucked out and Mr. Magoo-ed the sucker onto
the end of my line. My only regret was to have caught him on such
heavy setup. I had my steelhead rod out on the trip, but never
unpacked it.

iamskippy 10-07-2014 05:43 AM

Congrats man, they are addictive, get on a good feen and hook a few in a row especially the larger onea and othet fish will never be the same....

we were out today again, but boy i took a beating. biiig waves/surf had the fish/bait spread out much more. All albies, but picked up a bone trolling from bird pod to bird pod. huge seas, subsided slightly after the tide turned, but still big. I am sore.

niko 10-07-2014 03:06 PM

I noticed once the wind picked up yesterday we just weren't getting the bites even though they were still feeding savagely - weird. yesterdays fish were huge in general. much bigger than the bite in Falmouth a few weeks ago

BatesBCheatin 10-07-2014 04:20 PM

Wind today made things very difficult. Weeds made it impossible from shore. Fish were around too. Should have stayed home. I did see a couple of you getting rocked in your crafts. Thought you would have headed in once you cleared the inlet. Hope it was worth it. And yes, the fish that were around yesterday were big! Saw only one caught today. 6 pounds maybe. Done til the weekend. Withdrawals due in 13 hours.

it was worth it. But I am very sore today. 8lb albies make the drag scream and for wonderful memories in the cold winter.... were you on the east wall, Bates?

Yeah I hear that. No wasn't on the walls that day. I've been fishing fishing more towards the west lately. Although all the bones I was catching were all from that area. I can only hope for one more bone before it's over. Might be the best tasting fish I've ever caught.

I hear that. Had a buddy over the other night after a killer Bonito day and i sliced up some sashimi with soy and wasabi, and he couldnt believe how good it was. I froze some for the grill. Not sure how it freezes.
