Albie fever
I have been so excited to get out this weekend. All i can think about. I woke up at 6 this morning and had to go through my gear and pack up to fish tomorrow morning. I get up at 10 AM every day, albies on the brain. My buddy leaves a voicemail about going very large last night in CT i could care less. Gimme 6 pounds of albie over 40 pounds of striper.

Yup, I cant sleep knowing i might miss out on a frothing, slashing feed, and the thought of my little SSV4500 screaming drag. I think its the fact that they could be gone tomorrow, and i dont want to miss one shot. |

I work an extended second shift being a salaried slave. 12-1030pm or so. Truck will be packed tonight. im getting a smaller reel since my buddies kid killed my stradic. I almost feel that letting people borrow a VS is better than letting them borrow something that needs TLC.

Yep, could care less about bass right now. Looking for my first Albie from the surf. Slightly obsessed is an accurate description of my current state. I know where they are, but the wind seems to be keeping them out of range unless I jump on a ferry. Praying for 48 hours of south winds, but it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon. Forecast is for maybe 12 hours of south winds on Monday/Tuesday and that's it for the rest of the week. Won't be surprised if these fish are blown out of here sooner than later.  |

Funny I am just the opposite this year. I have gotten a few on a few limited trips in my tin boat and my boat is just a mile from east bay and I am already tired of the chasing. I more interested in bass right now. That being said I think
I may try for some Albert's on Mon. morning as they are calling for 5 from the north in my neck of the woods. Perfect for the tin boat. Good luck guys I hope you succeed in your search.

Bad ass feeds this morning. 2 hours of hardtail slashing. You shore guys could have netted them.

Ha! Figures I went striper fishing this morning Cape Cod Bay.  May be time to change things up. Well, at least I caught a short.

I thought you could less about bass right now?... 
Like BBaller said, they did appear to get in close this morning, and they were in good numbers.
Had one break the treble this morning....(then that saying rang thru my head)..."you don't bring a knife to a gun fight"....  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Not where I was. Friend got 4 fish, one decent one. Fish were around but peanut picky. Didn't see any blitzes or mass feeds.

Perhaps caring less about stripers was an exaggeration, but once in awhile I like to actually catch something instead of driving around and looking at acres of birds on acres of Albies thru binocs 500 yards plus off the coast.  Believe me as I was out there on that 'big' rock I was thinking about hard tails and planning tomorrow's excursion.
I have changed out all my hooks on my Albie lures to VMC, but I might as well go hookless as it is the same result either way. 
Tomorrow is another day... Albies only all day. Glad you boat guys are having a blast. When and if I get one I'll at least have the consolation of knowing that I didn't have to cheat to do it.

There was a guy yesterday in a trophy trolling tube and work through the Albie blitzes. I had some choice words for him. He told me to eff myself. Good times

I won't even bother to fish albies where there are crowds. These fish are notoriously finicky and a bunch of freaks chasing them around doesn't make hooking up any easier.

Just avoid weekends and you won't have that many issues. I agree though crowds and Albie's don't mix well.

They back over your way Chris. They were not very abundant in my neck of the woods. I did not go but was told that. It was also rough out there too. I spent the morning at canal catching nutin but a cold wind.

I thought there was some rude behavior on the water during an Albie blitz, never thought I'd see so much of it at a boat ramp a 6am. Westport River is usually pretty civilized, mostly fisherman, not a lot of yahoo's, but yesterday I had someone cut in front of me to get in the water first, then when I got in the ramp space was all tied, up so I idled up to the end to pick up my partner after he parked the trailer and the idiot on the end decides getting to those albies couldn't wait the 30 seconds more I needed, he's backing out and I had to fend him off my backside. If it weren't for the 4 albies later that morning, I'd say I'm done, too bad my week is full work wise; love to get out again without the crowds.

Saturday i did pretty good went 3 for 6. Sunday was another story. They were everywhere, i had one hit in six hours. I have never seen as many albies in my life, pretty much as far as i could see in any direction. I probably could have got them in a cast net.

funny how we go from no albies last year to this type of influx. I had about 30 Bones is 3 days last year and not one in RI this year. Funny how things change year to year.
