Albies/Bonito?

Is there a certain temperature that brings these fish in? I know they like warm water but is there a magic number similar to 50 for stripers? I got a few albies last year and cant wait for a return, i am assuming that the time is approaching since we are around 70 degrees in a lot of places.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I'm not sure if its a temp thing . I know they come in mid to late august and have seen them late July a few times. It may be proximity of the Gulf Stream , local temps and day light combined.

Anyway , it is a great time to me on the beach casting!

Bonito reports should start any day now. Albies by end of August offshore. Early September inshore.

We ran into pods of bonito in Block Island Sound on Wednesday. I thought it was too early, but the warm may be the key.

Best regards,
Roger

sounds about right...reports from a certain nearby pile of Rhody rocks usually start in the next week or two...

I beg to differ. They showed up in force man. I was catching them consistently in Buzzards Bay till mid October last season. I hope this year's the same!

I don't typically search for them in that area, Tunabreath, but a buddy of mine was hammering them behind Naushon and north through Wood's hole and eastern Buzzards Bay. I was seeing them mostly from Mattapoisett to Westport. They stayed right up until a super cold snap late in October. Can't wait for em to show up again.

PI is the only locale that has reported such. BUT, it might be worth a ride...... Have to check with TDF.

I'm considering a trip up to PI tonight to comb the beach in search of funny fish if anyone wants to join.
