Albies in 2024

It is Fall of 2024, and albacore aren't available from shore...yet! It is an extremely good bonito year, though, so I am tying some candies. The current NE blow will rearrange the arena, so we will see what happens after the next week.

Between Flats and Hardtail Fishing

Hardtails are here, so the new game is on! Flats fishing has slowed down, but if you try hard enough, you will have your shots. I was tying some suspended peanut bunker flies today, to toss at albies in a few days.
