Also, the blue reflector DD will work. I've had them hit small Acme Kastmasters and I'm sure the Pt. Jude A-34 and Pojee will work, too. |

Youzuri crystal minnows, the smallest you can find and cast. Or a tuna fly, if you don't use a fly rod, use a hookless plug three feet in front of it.

Chased them for six hours a couple of weeks ago, they where everywhere. I talked to another boat and the only thing that seemed to be working was a small castmaster, which we didn't have. The peanuts they where feeding on had to be about an inch long. Good luck

I was going to suggest the Green deadly #^&#^&#^&#^& as well.
The past few years the maria's have been popular too, you can cast them a bit further than the deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s

Bizzare fish. Some days they take jigs and flies and other days you cast into giant schools and find it hard to believe they ton't touch it.
When this happens...try blind casting away from the blitz, seek out the lone soldier.
Amazing fight from the shore. Spooled a stella 5000 to the knot yesterday, it was unreal.
I like the yo-zuri hydrometal in blue, if you can find it.
I agree it can be maddening when blitzing schools ignore your offering. I heard a quote from an experienced fly fishermen that said, "today I had more direct casts right into breaking fish then I have had in the last 5 years combined and came up empty....I tried everything too." The next day, in the same spot, everyone was catching them  |

Professor.....I'm bringing one of your SS needles with me for just that reason.
I'll pick up a couple of Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s today to throw in the bag

I use flies, and think they work better for albies, but if you are going to use lures, the best one I've found by a wide margin is this little yozuri plug. Not sure what it is called, but it works better than crystal minnows in my experience. You won't be casting it from shore, however. For that I'd try the yozuri jig in the picture. I think the problem with metal for blitzing albies is that it sinks out of the strikezone too fast (or is pulled out of the zone too fast if you try to keep it on top). As Sandman points out, you can often do better blind casting with metal to get deeper swimming fish rather than flail away at busting schools that are focusing on bait within inches of the surface.

Might be worth trying without the bucktail.
Tsunami and other narrow profile rubber does the trick too !
Scud jigs and swedish pimples as well.

Hawg Island stinger type metal with a chartreuse teaser whose name I can't mention because it would be SPAM. Two years ago on the vineyard of the first 25 albies I caught 17 were on the teaser.
One more thing, when flyfishing I use a small white flie that is deadly. The same flie doesn't fish as well as a teaser, but it works really well on the end on my Sage rod.

Dad.....
I will be bringing some flies you can use as teasers ahead of whatever gives you weight/distance. Will touch base with you there.

A fat albert from the rocks  that's a great accomplishment.
I've never caught one from boat or shore not even a bonito, I have seen bones in the canal, those are some fast fish.
I'll have my PJ pojee out on cutty but without the right rod, I doubt I'll catch one, but I'll try just in case. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I've had a good deal of luck casting small Krocadiles and Swedish Pimples. On the troll I like Storm Swim Shads, 3 & 4", in Bunker. Whichever you use, a 20 to 30lb. flouro leader will significantly better your odds.
