Albacore showed in good numbers this week!

Better late than never! This weekend was full of fun and albacore fishing. With Striperfest as the backbone of the weekend's activities, I had to run the Lowrance boat at the show. Since I was out there anyway, I booked trips for Saturday and Sunday to hunt the Albies.  We did well even though it looked like commercial bass season out there.  If you decide to book a trip, it would be well worth your time to do a weekday or an all day trip as it was just that much harder to get them with every boat running up to and over fish.

It was very good to see many small schools up and down the shoreline but the bait they were feeding on were extremely small. Scaling down trigs paid off as we were able get tight with some of them.  We even witnessed a small Blue Fin (25 lbers) bite on the same baits. Yes we tried to get one of them on our light rods but looking back I am glad that did not happen!  Lets just hope now that they continue their normal push and stick around a while. If you want more information or to get a date/location on where they are, just give me a shout.
