Never caught one before John, but from everything I hear, they are a "must catch" fish. I'm really hoping to get with someone on the board, FW and BC will be doing the Albie drool soon and I'm hoping to get down to the Vineyard while they are down in Sept.
My friend Pete got into some last fall on a friend's boat. Not much was working, until he threw them some of my hand poured jerkbaits
and they proceeded to gobble them up. I'm guessing a wire leader is a must though, which reminds me....got to order some more of those XPS Titanium Leaders from BPS. Pricey, but the 30#-9" leader I fished the couple times this spring at Cotuit, looked brand new after some 40 blues had worked it over. Only have one left, so I've got to order a couple more.
If you get on some Albies at RI and a boat might help
, give me a call.
