Albie fever

[Poncho]

Thanks guys much appreciate the help. Just out of curiosity has anybody tried mackerel rigs or sabiki rigs fished on top? Seems like it might work, similar to the way we catch hickory shad

you gotta love that (s)hit -
you should have asked him, ...
should a hunter drive his truck into a flock of ducks if he wants a chance at getting a few?
heard there were a lot of blues up your way, ?
water temps haven't began dropping yet.....perhaps when they do, the bass will wake up
although the bottom fishing and bonito hunting has been fun

One of the best lures we've found for albies and bonito are small mackeral jigs 1/4,1/3,1/2 oz sold in 3 packs blister packs. Used to have good luck getting at Benny's but not anymore. West marine might have. Found them online at sea Wolfe tackle.

South of the big island?

I know you're not a weekend guy, but you should make an exception one of these weekends so we can hook up
We'll race our dinghys around and see who can catch the biggest choggie!!!....seriously

I had milo with me today and you came up several times.

We were surrounded by bait-balls this morning with constant thrashing fish......threw everything at em'

another boat pulls up, throws a large swimmer at em'...instant hook up ,,, The rip coupled with the 3-5' swells that had the bait confused was a rocking good time in my 18, but the lack of hook-ups was sooooo disappointing....from pink rubber, to all types and sizes of metals, green-stripped #^&#^&#^&#^&s, crystal minnows, assorted jigs, a kitchen sink, my mother-in-laws meatloaf......couldn't get the bastidds to engage. Although a yellow-eyed devil did cut-me off....

Still exciting to witness none-the-less, until you get back to fill the gas tank....

I,ll make a exception to see your guys again ><><>
