I am thinking of take a scouting trip down that way this morning as I hear rumors (no hard facts yet) that those RI footballs were heading east and have been seen at the mouth of the BB and VH sound. If they go in the sound that would be really kewl but my bet is they go around the outside of MV and park themselves at the hooter for a while which is still ok. Either way...I'll be there.  |

Thanks for the info everyone, I hope whatever they were sbt, albies or bones that they are still there this weekend. If nothing else works I will sharpen the point of my Menemsha Fly Rod and will skewer one of the suckers.
Sandman, if you happen to run across them today and get one let me know what they are.

I've found that albies and bones bite more readily in the morning hours.
As the day progresses into the afternoon, they seem to get more cautious.
I don't know why this is the case, but I guess it has to do with their very sharp vision. They also tend to bite more frequently if the water is turbid.
In any case, using good quality fluorocarbon leader really helps. Seguar or Orvis Mirage 15 lb. (or thereabouts, Orvis comes in weird sizes) is the ticket.

I was there on Sunday and they weren't Albies or Bonita. We cought 4 of them and just couldn't believe they were actually there. They have moved out now, I have gone back a few times this week checking.

Congrats on hooking up, I threw what I had at them and didn't get a sniff. The ones I saw were looked pretty small, certainly under 27", did you get into anything large enough to keep?

Throw topwaters, almost a guaranteed hook up.
