Anyone catch an Albie ?
 

Anyone get one? I had one shot at one , got a hookup and it wrapped around the motor and lost it. FishHawk

a couple of weeks ago.Off great i.[hyannis] in the 9lb range.loads of fish in pods.looooong casts did the trick,most of the pods dropped out at appx.80' from the boat no matter what you did[drift,no depth finder running,motor running on/ off,etc.most were taken on gummy minnows no bigger than 1&1/2". used a 9wt w/clear int. Rio line 9' leader w/12lb. floro tippet.Little "yellow eyed devils" were in the mix so it cost us a lot of flies[in numbers].

I didn't get one but the boat I was on got one at MV. I had a hook up but think it might have been a bass. FishHawk

Albies are MUCH faster than bass, you'll know it when you hook one. I've caught quite a few, but not in recent years. One of these days...

last week
 

First one. Last week on MV in Edgartown from the shore on the fly.
What a blast! Probably be haunting the south shore for another shot this weekend.

Watch your knuckles!!!

Got about 65-75 in total for the year. Just about all of them came in a couple days of the Rhody coast out to No Mans Land.

What is the make of your reel it looks like the new Mako? FishHawk

It is my own reel "Colton" Remeber I had a post one here a back in the spring. "Name my fly rods" That trip was actually to test a couple new designs. Nothing like Albies and Bonito to make sure things are working right:beat:
