Albies and Bonito from shore???
Heading to MV next week and it looks like there is the opportunity to run into some false albies and bonito from shore. I have never run into these fish and I'm clueless.
So, some quesitons...
1. What are the best lures to throw, sizes?
2. Light spinning tackle ok -10lb line, med stick? Do I need to go heavy?
3. Can you eat them?
Thanks!

Light tackle is good...#2 deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s in green and a teaser helps out and reel as fast as you can...  and then hold on...

I am out to get my first ones too. I hope these work. I have made them heavier, weighted, so I can cast them further from shore. I'd love to get one on my own stuff .Vineyardblues is going to take me right to the spot  Paul

I dont think he is saying that..The teaser is usually about 18 inches and the swivel to put the metal is about 24 inches...both are attached to the main line at the same place

I think that is what he meant. Basically using your needles as a casting weight. The fly would be behind the plug. |

I used to tie direct using 12lb BBGame mono although I would probably use PP etc with a fluro leader now. My favorite lure was always an Ava jig (007 model).

I use yozuri crystal minnows, tied direct with a moderate retrieve. everyone always told me to burn it in, but a moderate retrieve has worked wonders for me. bonito are delicious
good luck |

use sweedish pimples  get the green ones. other shiny metal works well too. I use light tackle with 12# test tied direct.
vary retrieves..i usually rip em in fast..with the rod parallel to the water and snap the rod back n forth sorta like you do with sluggos.
bonito taste great.. |

tie direct Jim.
15lb flouro
THEY LOVE MAG DARTERS
Also try taking a tin 2-3 ounce pt.jude/ t-hex or whatever your flavor of tin is. Leave the rear hook on the tin, and take 2 feet of flouro, and run a nice sparkly fly off of that, tie it with a perfection loop so it has a good swing to it. Rip that sucker out there and retreive like you just had 19 cups of coffee  |
Domination takes full concentration..
