So I finally made an albie bonito trip to mass and Rhode Island. I haven’t spent much time targeting these speedsters I didn’t manage any but I did get to throw at a some which was pretty exciting. I ended up taking a few long hikes to some well known and some not so well known jetties. I am going to have to acquire more patience for this type of fishing as it seems to involve a lot of downtime waiting for pods to pop up. But I am committed to landing one on a homemade surf candy so I’ll be hitting the local jetty regularly after work and traveling to cleaner deeper jetties and beaches when I can find the time.
I was wondering what you guys like to wear for spikes on the jetties I wore my korkers boots with the big spiked soles and they seemed fine on the wet weedy stuff but a little loose on the dry granite
I used a 10weight sage with a rio intermediate striper line and was also curious if you sharpies feel its necessary to use a clear tipped line especially up north where the water seems clearer. I d love to hear what your favorite lines for albies from jetties are and what the most popular leaders are .
I just started reading Tom Gilmore’s book and i can already tell it will be great resource. I would love any suggestions this community may have on equipment, tactics, tides etc that may help me with my latest obsession.
thanks
