Rare Hat Trick Today

This albie was landed on a float and
pink Deceiver fly.

I had a rare hat trick today in some hot fishing from shore. The "hat trick" in saltwater fishing happens if you can catch an albie, a striper and a blue all in one day.  It happened today as I had multiple fish that contributed to the hat trick. I've only been able to do this once before a long time ago from shore. By the way, some fishermen call this a "slam"; others refer to it as a trifecta.  Whatever you want to call it, it's a rare event, especially for shore fishermen.

Today was on of those dreary, rainy and rough days that most fish love to feed in. And, they were feeding! There were stripers in and out all day, but they were fussy. My best producer for the finicky stripers was my float and fly although I did land one on a white Albie Snax. I landed several with a couple of them being slots.  The albies were also in and out, and I saw a good number of them breaking.  I got two to hit a silver Clarkspoon, a hot lure for me this year, and the other albie I landed was caught on a float and fly.  That fished grabbed the fly no more than 20 feet in front of me! The bluefish was landed on a Colt Sniper metal lure.  All the fish today were feeding on small bay anchovies which made catching them difficult.

Overall, this has been a good week for fishing along the oceanfront for multiple species.  Let's hope it continues!

This striper took an Albie Snax.

This bluefish that I landed today completes the hat trick!
