My first albie of the year came from Buzzards Bay today.
Today I landed my first albie of the year in Buzzards Bay. I also had the rare hat trick in which I landed the albie, a striper and a bluefish.
We went out in Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound today from the boat. While we found a lot of albies, catching them was a different story. They were busting all over the place, but they just would not hit for the most part, probably due to the fact that the area was choking with bait. I saw schools of peanut bunker that stretched for hundreds of yards. In addition, there were bay anchovies also in the mix. I did manage to get my first albie of the year on a float and fly rig. While I had a few other hits, that would be the only one landed for the day.
Schoolies were also abundant today.
A white shad body on a jighead
worked real well.
Blues in the 5 to 8 lb. range were
also abundant. They were blitzing
on peanut bunker.
While the albies were tough to fool, the stripers and blues were another story. They were also all over the place and my brother and I managed to catch about 20 stripers (schoolies, average 20-25 inches) along with a dozen bluefish that ranged from 5 to 8 lbs. At times, the stripers and blues were blitzing on the bait big time along some shorelines. The best lure was a plastic shad body mounted onto a half ounce jighead, a dead ringer when it comes to imitating peanut bunker.
