1 albie today on metal, DD, OC. A few others were caught among the bluefish.
Way to catch them up fishin!:clapping:
Yesterday was descibed as "epic" albie fishing among some of the reports that came in to me. :drool: The thing that made it so good was the sustained bite, and the fact that albies were caught at so many NJ surf areas, not just the usual places where people look for them.
The best report I got was from a guy who got 12. :wow: He had a few tweaks in his method that allowed him to outfish most of the fishermen at the beach he was at. :thumbsup:
It seems that yesterday is a day for albie addicts that will be remembered for years after, where both boat and surf guys got in on the action.
The only downside to that is how to you do better than that? It may be possible that we don't, that yesterday was the highlight of the 2010 season for the surf guys. Moreover, today, which some of us predicted would deliver the same opportunity, was a dud for most of the albie surf guys out there. Hundreds of casts were made, and at most there were reports of a few fish just out of casting range.
Congrats to all the lucky ones who were in on the action. :clapping::clapping: :thumbsup:
Yep it was some good action, I should have stuck around but had to get to work.
We had a few nice albie and blues blitzes yesterday about 500' off IBSP. Albies to 8lbs blues to 14. All on deadly ***** and avas with green tail. Some surf guys got into them as well. And, at some times they were just out of reach of them. We did ok by letting them come to us and not chasing them, just keeping the drift steady.
I fished Moses yesterday, saw them pop up a few times but couldn't hit them.
Managed 3 Tues on a deadly ****, moco.
Got an albie yesterday on a t-hex. I moved to 2 different areas before I got one, they were moving fast!
These guys did an awesome job!:dribble:
They filmed it at Montauk Sept 13
At 0:35 and 2:30 in the clip, you can see shots of kayakers out there getting into them too. :fishing:
I think they were shots of DannyV, (otherwise known as MSG Dan or Kayak Dan,) and a friend of his. They went up there that day and got into some incredible kayak albie fishin. :dribble:They picked a perfect day for it, as there hasn't been a window with water that good in weeks.
Danny is an obsessive fisherman and kayaker. When the action is great you can expect him to be right there in the middle. :thumbsup: I think they were also into that epic NJ action around 9-15-10 at Shrewsbury Rocks.
Great video and editing, the action is incredible. Thanks for posting, Albie. :HappyWave:
:drool:That's an intense video. It looks like pure albie heaven out there. Those guys in the kayaks were lucky, right place at the right time. Wow.
sweet
This guy got into em out of Jones yesterday. I found it on another site, great catch, dude!:clapping::clapping::clapping:

The bass bite shut down and out came the albies in full force. Which may explain the bass shutdown. I guess the speed of these guys just outclass the bass so when they want to feed, game over. Although everytime they were around the boat their feeding was alot more casual than frenetic. Who knows. Found some albies in 0' of water smashing bait on the beach. Got in close, 5' of water and started to pick them. Really is awesome to be that close up on the beach. No surf rats I could see, hopefully some of you guys got into this. Went on the troll for one more bass and 2 more albies for about 15 minutes. The last albie made me tap, I was done with that. Normal slower trolling and jigging speeds worked. Not really bustin out or showing on the FF but they were all around.
For everyone who has caught albies, you can move on. For those that havent, let me draw you a picture. The third albie I had, the fattest, hit my Deadly **** at the boat and took off for a good 25 seconds on 90% drag(2 clicks from full). Seriously I counted. Had to chase him down and another with the boat or else there goes my line, which I just respooled. Bent open the hook on a 3 ounce DD(zoom in on picture, it is the hook holding the rail). 50 yards, 100 yards, 150 yards, 200 yards, dang. What makes this all special is this is an 7lb fish!! When they see the boat, you start over. I could only imagine what fighting a 60lb tuna on spinning gear must be like, and can securely say Im not into trying to tangle with them. Had one on the troll on conventional gear who wound up wrapping himself in the line and I think it took 15 minutes to bring him in. He was 5 lbs. Not boat shy at all like the bass. In fact they seem to prefer it at times. Im guessing with the dropping water temps happening and the current blow, they will be moving on or continuing West. So fare well and ado till next time.
I saw them just off the beach in nomoco today, they were moving at blazing speed, way to fast to cast to. My buddy got one around 8lbs yesterday, he ran around all day looking for them.
Do you guys think with all the hot weather we are having lately they might be here sooner this year? What about bonito, do they come earlier than albacore or do they travel together?
water is still cold too much south wind
Might be early this year?
"Capt. Bob Pennington got into bonito Sunday while jigging small blues along the Shore from his Sea Devil from Point Pleasant."
If bonito are out there, can albacore be far behind?
fished off shore saturday where they usually are this time of year nada no albies or skippies also from about 8 miles off up to 40 off there was no signs of any life. At 40 off all the big bluefish you could want
I am jonesing to catch a false albacore from the surf this season. I checked this thread. In 2009 they showed up Sept 20, in 2010 it was Sept 9. Does anyone want to make any guesses when they might show up this year? All the bay waters near the ocean are muddy and there is a lot of debris and nasty dirty water. Any of you guys want to explain how that might affect them showing up, because the way things are going so far maybe they won't?
water is way to cold and dirty,there are none offshore either,I wouldn't bet on any of the pelagic coming inshore except maybe bluefin when water clears. Back in beginning of August Bonita were on the ridge they too for lack of bait and clean water are long gone
