View Full Version : Albacore 6/24-6/27
Went out on a 2.5 day trip on the Islander this past Sunday with a light load of 20 onboard. Fishing was slow for the most part but we still ended up with 42 Albies and 16 YT.
I hooked 5 up with 5 Albies and 2 YT.
Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Sweeeeet!
So what was the hot set up?!?!
Come on man! Share the wealth!! LOL!

Since all the fish being caught right now is scratch fishing here is a few tips I used and got bit on.
Trolling feathers used
1 Party feather (pink,orange,yellow,green,white) I let others use my rig on their rotation for 5 fish. (4 Albies and 1 YT)
I caught 2 Albies on a Black and purple Catchy Tackle...The smallest size...
As soon as a trolling rig went off I got either tossed a megabait out or a dine...and got bit three times but lost 1.
The whole trip I never used anything less then 30# with 28# Flouro...2/0 flyliners...

So an Avet SX with 20# mono top and 65# spectra should be a tiring and fun adventure... :twisted:
So an Avet SX with 20# mono top and 65# spectra should be a tiring and fun adventure... :twisted:Yeah I personally wouldnt fish with less then 25#. If the fish get in a feeding frenzy then I'd fish 40#-50# all day......

I wish I had bought that Avet JX....
Oh well, the good ol' Penn GS545 is gonna have to work! It's only got 30# on it but I guess I'll just have to be a little bit smoooth~!
Boat leaves in 5 hours....man this is gonna be the longest wait....
