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. |

Well my " snubbed by " list goes on, I guess I can add sbft to that that list. I was happier when I thought they were albies as they are arleady on the list and it wouldn't be as frustrating! I'll have to wait and see if they stay around till Saturday and we'll have at-em again.
I have got to figure out a way around this workin for a livin thing!

Who says August is a slow month for fishing?
(gotta get that spooge off the lense)
BTW, the DMF has guys out checking for permits... He has already nabbed a few guys. He confiscates everything....all your gear. I don't know if he can take your boat but he takes the fish and all your tackle and you get a stiff fine . He is not giving you much wiggle room to claim you "didn't know" about the permit. No warnings I heard.

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.

1) go light. These are small fish. You don't need heavy gear you will get more hookups with 15# mono and a tiny lure then a big plug (in my experience anyway) This is a pretty cheap set up (tsunami-penn slammer) but the reel has new drag washers and fresh line (installed yesterday). (she was nearly spooled I had to start the motor and chase the fish to get some line back)
2) these are beautiful fish when you first take them out of the water, color fades fast so release them quickly...torpedo style.
gogetm...this will not last that long
