Got my first albies today
went out looking for albies this morning. saw some bird action @ 6:15. Saw a few boils and casted a deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&. After the second cast, I had a fish on. I thought it was a small blue. Pretty psyched once I saw it was an albie. My first ever. I was disappointed with the fight, not a big deal. Not even to a 5 lb blue. Saw albies coming up all over, it was a cool sight. A few more casts and I had another, this one fought like a monster, went straight down, I was in 80ft of water and kept pulling drag. This was more like I imagined. There wasnt another boat around. I chased them for awhile, but never hook up again. Landed 2.
Looked around for another hour and called it an early morning.

good for you Jimmy. Nutin beats them for fun IMO. Got one yesterday just as I lifted the lure out of the water, in 6 feet of water. Talk about a killer fight. Super green fish 3 feet from the boat. I did laps around the boat several times trying to keep it out of the motor and swim platform.

Awesome Jim. That's a real small albie. I will guarantee when you catch a big one you won't say the same thing about the fight  |

the fleet was out chasing them around yesterday morning. They were pretty elusive yesterday. Pop up for 15 seconds then they were 1/4 mile down.

a light schoolie/bluefish rod - st croix tidemaster, 12lb test tied directly to a deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&.
The first one there was barely a fight, the second one was a great fight. |

Awesome, Jim! Sounds like a blast. I haven't targeted or caught one in about 5 years.
