i went out today at 7:30 this morning, later than i would like but bad tides for the ramp .i went in search of the elusive pogies (for me this year) hit all the spots i ever got pogies and tried 2 new spots on 5th hand word , nothing , now off to get macks . i hit the spot where i have been getting plenty of macks the last few day but i lost most of the moving water looking for pogies , mack fishing was slow only 1 or 2 at a time with long stretches inbetween . (i jig for macks trolling style) . i hook up ,not a lot of wieght so i'm thinking another single fish next thing i know the line is pulled real tight , drag is set tight for bait ,the fish can't pull drag , then starts shooting out to the side and around the boat , i have gotten a lot of macks in my time never seen this before , now i'm thinking small bluefish , i get it boat side and at a quick glance it looks like a mack , i get it in the boat and get a good look at it and it,s a small albie , i had never seen a real one before only pictures ,snapped a quick photo and tossed it back (real sharp teeth),it was only as big as an adult mack not even a pound i would guess then a little while later i got another one only a little smaller , now i change set ups and i am targeting albies , which i know nothing about except what i read so i put on the smallest deadly #^&#^&#^&#^& i have and started trolling , if anybody told me i would be targeting albies within site of boston i would have said they were crazy but there i was . but saddly i got no more .weather was turning so gave up on that and went striper fishing , could not fish long though weather got nasty only got one decent striper , strange day , the count 7 mackrel , 3 harbor pollic , 2 false albacores , 1 dogfish , 1 striper . and i got pulled over by the evo police for speeding even though i was just trying to match the ferry
