Just like to note, they blew both the CCB and BB/RIS forecasts.
CCB was a horror show.
BB/VS/RIS were flat as a board. |

Niko wanted to bring trolling gear for albies but that stayed at the dock. We had action all day with a good portion all to ourselves. Definitely a good shot for shore anglers to hook up.After landing a good amount I hooked one that dumped my spool on its way to BI. Still talking to myself.....

We caught that one later in the day @Fairway buoy!  O.D., I do believe that is the one I made the infamous quote: "if this is an albie, I'll eat it!"
Glad the camera was off!
SD: Thanks for the fishing line!

Cast over feeding albies for 2 hours Saturday am, couldn't buy a hit, they are the balls to catch; but sooooo frustrating at times. I threw mixed bag and small 1/4oz and smaller stuff, even fly on a casting egg and nada. After my arm was about to fall off and I'd had enough of the armada of boats I switched to black sea bass and something easy. Nailed a monster I thought for sure was a big confused Tog (hooked a big one this spring on a jig in 70 feet) first drop, so diner was yummy.

We caught one this weekend at Cutty. My brother walked up from the beach with it and says look at this fish. I can never remember how to tell an albie from a bonito. Threw it in the cart, a friend had the latest On the water and we figured out it was an Albie. Left it in the cart, made dinner Steak and Striper and were sitting around drinking wine when the friends son showed up. We had told him we were going to cook it but since we had plenty of food and it was pretty questionable as far as being edible we forgot that thought. One drink led to another and someone filleted it. Garlic on one side, salt on the other and on the grill it went. I am not a big fishy tasting fish guy but it was good, I'd keep one with no questions. I think like lots of fish you need to bleed them, cool them and eat them that day.

They make good shark and lobster bait. I have also chunked it for bass, blues etc. Nice bloody chunks of red meat.
They can often be difficult to catch at times but other times they chew on anything. When the bite is on, switch over to the lightest gear you have. (ultra light spin or fly) and hold on. They are a mini tuna and can really burn some drag esp some of the larger ones.

been doing that all week! so much fun!
PS
Still think your boat is the coolest in OB, walked by it a couple nights ago.  |

Mr. Hunters: Thanks. It's been lights out on the boat with small/medium albies but nothing huge. I had to get away from it for a couple days and do something different. Everyone is getting in on the action which is good. There seems to be a perpetual school of breaking fish east of the island...all day long.

We were in football fields of surface feeding albies that would have none of my offerings the other day. Talk about some kind of driving you crazy.... That seems to be the consensus... Average was 6lbs still amazing and on light tackle..really gets the blood flowing! I look forward to this time every year. Seems busier this year than in past on island. |

Are these reachable from shore? I would love to have my son get into the action. Newport? The Cape? Where are they?

Anyone been out recently, the weather and personal stuff this past weekend kept me off the water, is the albie window still open? While I'd love another shot, after the frustrating skunk two weeks back, I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better to grab some crabs and anchor up and relax. If they are still hanging around Cutty, I could do both or at least give the albies one more shot before making the switch.
