Actually albie fishing is pretty reliable around Monomoy in mid-to-late September. When you start to hear people complaining about the lack of albies around the Vineyard and southside, that means the bite is probably going very well around Monomoy. The folks out there are more tight-lipped about it than the Vineyard/southside crowd. The albies tend to run into Nantucket and Vineyard sounds in late August and work ther way toward Monomoy throughout the month. You can find them in the rips at the end of south Monomoy pretty reliably and also off Hardings Beach and around the opening into Stage Harbor. Bonito tend to stay a little further offshore (they can tolerate colder water temps) but can be found all the way around the backside and into the Bay at times. I have run int acres of small bonito in Cape Cod Bay and have used them as live baits for tuna off Crab Ledge and up toward the PH buoy. We catch them at night while anchored and fishing for tuna.
Trolling for them is boring. casting to them with small metal, sluggos, bucktails or flies is much more fun.
