Trolling or casting?

Last weekend is OLD news, I know where they were, too.

How about since the big blow of Tues night/Wed?

Thanks Moses and NICE fish!

Yes.

Gansett

All casting. Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s, Kastmasters, Small needle fish.

And you are right Phil, not sure what that mid week weather did to fishing.

All is well since the blow. Albies were on a rampage again today. Angry and bigger with occasional bonito catches as well.

ssssssh, now buzz is going to be buzzin the entire shoreline.

They're at the Regal Sword, nowhere near Westport or Cuttyhunk or anywhere between there and Montauk.

Yeah, thats it.
Regal Sword.

I hve never caught one!! I was thinking of what to do this weekend, I might give this a try if I can find them.
How fast is a good troll I hear figure 8 fast??

Yup so keep outta my way!

Macojoe 6-8 is good!

Not goin tomorrow, you can have the whole freeway

Joe I would cast for them. Trolling won't give you the thrill hooking up to them casting will. Just look for pods or breaks and make a 1000 casts and you will get one.:)

Thanks guys!! I can't go today and tomorrow looks a bit windy?? But we shall see?

Just look for a pile of boats doing dumb things and that is where they are

Buzzter is loose!! Watch your 6's

Great, I will fit right in!!

SUN
NW WINDS 5 TO 10 KT. SEAS 2 TO 3 FT.

Not to bad, I have never seen 2 to 3 footers in a 5 to 10 kt wind in the NW, last time it said that they changed in the morning to 1 foot or less.
But it says SW tonight, so might be bumpy in the am and get better as the day goes.

I hear you have to bleed well when caught like a A Tuna, how do you guys like to eat them??

U don't eat them unless U are my friend who will eat anything. Heard a cat will turn it's nose up to them. Don't really know and don't care to find out. A sport fish for me. U will find them right up on shore so U can hang close and not have to be out in the middle of the sound and i prefer a northerly wind to help in seeing them and like Jim said just look for the nit wits acting like lunatics, can't miss em. . I just got an update and they are everywhere this morn. I'll be going out in my 14 foot tin tomorrow so go for it a little later in day if too rough, but go.

O baby! what time you going Paul? were from? what channel on radio? I will give you a shout, HEY!! LOL

Hey Joe I don't even have a compass. I am in a bare bones tin boat but great for albies. I luv it although I do get blown off water sometimes. I am using a basically dirt ramp down street from me. U go out of Green pond right? I'll send you a PM.

I have had them smoke, with a delicate Grey Poupon musturd, and they are delicious. Almost as good as the bonito was smoked.

I'll take your word for that Yo Yo. I am not a real big fish eater.

they were picky friday night. Breaking all around the boat and could hook up with one. Than the blue mixed in and it was over. Bluefish every cast. The bait was so thick it was tough to hook up. they were fixed in on the bait.

so far where I am there are really only snapper blues but big pods of them. It is fun to watch boats rush over to the birds and fish breaking on top only to find out they are snappers, as I got fooled once too. Some boats will spend 20 minutes trying to catch them only to be dissapointed when they reel one in but if you really look at them U can see they don't act the same but are feeding on the same bait.

we got into them pretty good today. dangles was on fire

I wanna see some action shots of that onslow bay.

we(3 guys) put about 25+ in the boat today...
hey Paul, I need some metal!!:uhuh:

Want to have some fun??? Make an albie sandwich and give it to your buddy for lunch.

They make good shark and lobster bait. I have also chunked it for bass, blues etc. Nice bloody chunks of red meat.

They can often be difficult to catch at times but other times they chew on anything. When the bite is on, switch over to the lightest gear you have. (ultra light spin or fly) and hold on. They are a mini tuna and can really burn some drag esp some of the larger ones.

A couple shots of bringing them to the boat:

Just an FYI we were out at the Mudhole and Fairway Buoy ESE of Block! Beautiful day.

Just like to note, they blew both the CCB and BB/RIS forecasts.

CCB was a horror show.
BB/VS/RIS were flat as a board.

Niko wanted to bring trolling gear for albies but that stayed at the dock. We had action all day with a good portion all to ourselves. Definitely a good shot for shore anglers to hook up.After landing a good amount I hooked one that dumped my spool on its way to BI. Still talking to myself.....

We caught that one later in the day @Fairway buoy! :rotf2: O.D., I do believe that is the one I made the infamous quote: "if this is an albie, I'll eat it!"
Glad the camera was off!

SD: Thanks for the fishing line!

Cast over feeding albies for 2 hours Saturday am, couldn't buy a hit, they are the balls to catch; but sooooo frustrating at times. I threw mixed bag and small 1/4oz and smaller stuff, even fly on a casting egg and nada. After my arm was about to fall off and I'd had enough of the armada of boats I switched to black sea bass and something easy. Nailed a monster I thought for sure was a big confused Tog (hooked a big one this spring on a jig in 70 feet) first drop, so diner was yummy.

Sunday a.m was tough. found some but couldnt hook up. Chased them until about 1 and called it quits. These fish will straight F&** with you

It sucked that's for sure, I should have gone it was FAC south.
Sunday was a mess from the get go after the storm

got into them again today. short trip but productive. snapped off my favorite metal at the end though - :wall:

I should have gone out before work, they are gettin mighty picky though

We caught one this weekend at Cutty. My brother walked up from the beach with it and says look at this fish. I can never remember how to tell an albie from a bonito. Threw it in the cart, a friend had the latest On the water and we figured out it was an Albie. Left it in the cart, made dinner Steak and Striper and were sitting around drinking wine when the friends son showed up. We had told him we were going to cook it but since we had plenty of food and it was pretty questionable as far as being edible we forgot that thought. One drink led to another and someone filleted it. Garlic on one side, salt on the other and on the grill it went. I am not a big fishy tasting fish guy but it was good, I'd keep one with no questions. I think like lots of fish you need to bleed them, cool them and eat them that day.

I was never able to get out this weekend and I really wanted to!! I heard from another friend of mine the Albies were all over Chatham this week end and they caught a bunch of them. :fury::fury::fury:
