New Hook

I've just discovered an interesting heavy wire stainless hook. It would make a nice choice for land based albacore fishing we do here in the Northeast. Here it is compared to Daiichi 2546 Heavy Shank hook, same size 1 (new hook on left).

Warm Fall

The year of Sarda sarda, 2024! Some are still around, if you care (dare) to try! Chunky albie/bonito whores tied on size 1/0 old stock Tiemco 800S in lavender/pearl/grizzly tones (and salmon/pearl/grizzly).

Epic Bonito Day 2

Another epic day... Pods of bonito feeding on bay anchovies, exploding around the rocks. Many fish landed and some lost.

Bonito/Albie Whore

Translucent vs. opaque. Albie whore versions in rusty/burnt orange, barred ginger, tropical punch, lavender, tan, and red tones, size 2. Different type of feathers for different effect.

Epic Bonito Day

Non stop action, for the entire day. A day to remember, including the encounter with a large grey seal, who stole my hooked bonito. (Top and bottom/R pics courtesy of Jason Zimmer.)

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.

August Flats Fishing

Tons of small stripers on the flats. Larger fish arrived when the water got higher. Good day with multiple fish landed, all on a green crab fly.

Tailing Stripers

Exciting moments with tailing fish on the flats, using shrimp and baby flounder imitations.
