Well after a 6 yr layover( f'n kids) was convinced to finally make a return to my island aka cutty last nite
And it was no bueno.
Biggest water i ever attempted to fish. Hawaii pipeline giant. Miracle we didnt get seriously hurt. Sounded like a freight train speedin by and a 747 goin over head at the same time. Rattled your soul. Not the triumphant return i was anticipating but still nice to kiss my old magic stone and catch some flip flops and not gettin eatin by a shark

been beating on albies pretty good for the last 2 weeks. the fog today made it a little challenging and the "hot spot" had 38 kayaks plus the regular weekend boat crowd. its been pretty fun though - I've had a chance to put a bunch of guys on their first albies. one day we ended up with 60+, it was pretty wild

I hated crowds when I had a boat, can't imagine sitting in my yak with that many others, can see tangled lines and short tempers.

the albie crowd is pretty well mannered compared to the bass crowd, I only saw 1 guy acting like a #^&#^&#^&#^& in the last 2 weeks

Was it me.
Very well behaved I must say. God were they tough to fool this morning. I got one and felt lucky.

Always cool to get back to a favorite spot you haven't been able to get to for awhile... Sounds like it was crazy but you had fun...
BTW, how are the waves locally, pretty sure I saw you headed that way today 330ish?
I'm not going fishing, just curious.
Probably going to head down for a look tomorrow..
