Good Fishing

Weakfish were loaded again yesterday. We had fish on almost every stop for most of the running tides. Right out of the inlet we were treated to a mad dog Albie bite for a good hour and a half. Diving birds, bait all over the surface just crazy fishing. The fish were blitzing sand eels and the Albies were very nice size with most fish going over 7 lbs and some as large as 10+ The trick was not chase the birds and fish on top but to jig the deeper fish we marked with sonar, I watched a lot of people come by us in frustration as we hooked up fish after fish. Albies see very well. Light leader and smaller hooks can be a big factor in the amount of hook ups you get.
