FW,

That jig/fly teaser combo is nicely done with floro and slick hypersnaps and is very effective. I have caught my largest shore albie on it...(11#) This reminds me I need to procure a handful of those flies!! I like the jig but I want to try it with my small tin jigs I poured this winter. Which are similar but I think more rugged. I think they will be sweet.

BTW fish you saw were sbt.

found them this AM! What a show! But they were ***very*** picky I threw the box that them but We got a couple (around 25#). I would like to know what you guys got them on. They were jumpping 3-5' clear of the water, some doing acrobatic flips.

FW, will do! Let me get my act together and I will PM you. I want to have them for the derby when the albies get here.


Re tuna...Well, the word is out now and it is somewhat busy out there this AM. I left other the boats and went further off to find some quiet water and some fish without the inshore run-and-gunners burning up the ocean and charging right up next to you and driving the fish down. You are much better off slowly approaching schools of fish like this.

The wife was asking yesterday...I would love to see these things jumping, you guys come home really excited about them. OK I said, you are welcome to come...the boat leaves at 5 am. OK she said.
