Trolling or casting?

PRBuzz 09-21-2012 12:08 PM

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!

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

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

Pete_G 09-21-2012 02:39 PM

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

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

Yeah, thats it.

Not goin tomorrow, you can have the whole freeway

ProfessorM 09-21-2012 06:54 PM

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.:)

macojoe 09-22-2012 07:01 AM

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

Mr. Sandman 09-22-2012 07:46 AM

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

striperman36 09-22-2012 08:19 AM

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??

ProfessorM 09-22-2012 09:31 AM

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.

macojoe 09-22-2012 09:38 AM

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

ProfessorM 09-22-2012 10:03 AM

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.

ProfessorM 09-22-2012 10:13 AM

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

bassballer 09-22-2012 10:29 AM

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.

ProfessorM 09-22-2012 10:57 AM

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.

bassballer 09-22-2012 05:06 PM

I wanna see some action shots of that onslow bay.

mrstriper 09-22-2012 06:16 PM

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

Mr. Sandman 09-23-2012 05:38 AM

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.

PRBuzz 09-23-2012 06:35 AM

A couple shots of bringing them to the boat:
