Tease an albie

[moosh]

Fished today finally found the albies , but forgot my fly rod , the bastards wouldnt hit anything ,deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s ,small minows , every tin I had wasnt working ,fotunately I found a fly in my tackle box then light shines on marble head , so I tied on a teaser to a small tin I had ,and I was nailing them all day .. It worked out pretty good I could get it out there pretty far with the tin ,farther than I would if I was using a fly rod ..

Cool

[Biteme]

Finally, good for you. I'm curious did you tie the teaser with a dropper loop or stright from the swivel? Thanks

[moosh]

I tied it from the swivel , It only got twisted up once ..

Nice..Catch about 80% of albies with a teaser

[The Iceman 6]

Good improvision skills right there.

[Marc Z]

What do you guys use for a teaser specifically for albies???
Thanks

[justplugit]

I bet those little rainbow gummie minnow flys would work pretty good.

[Squid kids Dad]

Anything in chartruese (green)

[moosh]

I was using a green fly , I think anything would work, these fish are in a feeding frenzy they would gooble anything that would fit in there mouth ..,good luck Moosh

What line rating did you end up using? I've always thought albies were hardware shy but if they went after a fly near a split ring, it sounds like wouldn't care if you canal gear (20# mono and 50# leader) on them :-)

[moosh]

I use 20# lb power pro tied directly to the tin then 25# mono to the fly .I dont use any snap on , I dont want to lose a fish becouse some swival breaks ,I tie directly to the lure . I take out THE weak links ..

[Mr. Krinkle]

You don't use a leader to the tin when fishing for albies?

[stiff tip]

moosh.. i been fishing like that for albies for a few yrs w/ rainbow gumby flys and a s 1/2 oz blue cripple herrin and 20 lb test floro ..i tie to the swivel 2 1/2ft ..make teaser end 6 in long ..gumby flys come in all shapes and sizes and are the match the hatch fly for albies........

[moosh]

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH . the most productive year I had was fishing a polish lure sand eel a yellow ceramic thing that looks like a sand eel . but I lost that this spring , You have to wait untill this fish are breaking ,then throw the lure / teaser into the frenzy and its hook up time . i have a suzuki four stroke which is supper qiut , my buddy used to scream at me for not shuting off the moter when we were in the fish . and they would roll under us like we werent there , still motoring . good luck Moosh...

[stiff tip]

i cast into the school and let it drup .... works every time ... and always on the teaser... i agree let motor run ,unless its a long drift ...gumby flys are at goose humack.. i fish around fal and my area for the albies .. but not much this yr, good luck w/ them ....... dave...
