I get it. Friday a co-worker who belongs to a boat club went out with a non-fishing buddy to PJ as I've seen fishing breaking after work and let him know. They were plugging and catching a lot of Albies and Bonita. Neither even knew what the fish were so he sent me a few pics. But they caught ALOT... on plugs

I throw epoxy jigs most of the time. Especially if they are on sand eels or silversides. Switch to something larger in profile if they are on peanuts. Maybe a stubby Hopkins or Savage Tadpole or Jumpin Minnow or Snax. This year on the Vineyard Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&s seemed to be the thing for Bonito from my informal survey.
Size and color can be the deciding factor or they will hit anything flashy that gets dragged in front of them. Depends on the day.

Took a look at the epoxy jigs. Look pretty useful; nice on line article about them by Hogy. Will try next year! |

Saw an Albie next to my shed today, it was a fish out of water moment, but it will soon be swimming in Cabot Timber Oil.

At least something's swimming somewhere....
Unlike these fish.....they ain't swimmin' no more - it's great that we all see the state of the fishery the same

 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
