ALBACORE

2011-10-17T13:48:00.000-07:00

They have finally arrived in force. Double digit catches yesterday with fish to 20lbs. Unfortunately I was not on the water. Put the boat in this morning with a NWS forecast of south winds 5-10kts. The wind was blowing 15-20 at 7AM. Needless to say I was off the water by 8AM. They lied again...........

Been a really tough Albacore season. The wind blows out of the west for 4 days and scatters the fish all over the ocean. When it stops the water is too dirty to fish and before it clears up it starts to blow again.

The past couple of days have been awesome for Albies. More so on spin gear than fly due to wind conditions.
Went out this morning with my son Bill only to have a mechanical failure 2 mile off the beach. Took the boat to my Yamaha dealer and the parts will not be here until the 27th.

The Albacore arrived here with gusto this past week. The east side of the shoals in 45'-50' of water was the place to be.

Drum

2008-08-31T14:12:00.000-07:00

Hit the marshes today and was 3 fer 3 on nice slot drum. The lure was a red/white Top Dog Jr. I literally pounded one area while staked out for 2.5 hours.

Spanish

2008-08-26T13:44:00.000-07:00

My surgeon injected both my shoulders on Monday and feeling good today I decided to take a ride out to the inlet and see what was happening. The Spanish were all over the place and I donated a 1/2 dozen fly's to the cause. The bite slowed down so I went to the marsh in search of some drum to no avail. I made it back to the dock just ahead of a wicked thunder storm....

Took a short ride out to Beaufort Inlet yesterday and meet up with Buddy Rogers. Buddy has been camping at the inlet to take advantage of the vast number of fish there. The Spanish and trout were good to him this morning and what I here there was a Spanish blitz on the incoming tide.
I took a ride the the backside of Carrot Island and scored with a nice top water drum in really skinny water. Saw my surgeon today and it doesn't look good for my right shoulder, surgery is imminent.

The fishing here is beginning the pick up. Puppy Drum are in the marshes and Giants in the Pimilico for bait anglers. Specled Trout will start showing up as the water temps begin dropping. Sharks are every where. Spinners are free jumping in the Sound and in 40' of water outside the inlet.
