Def a fish I would like to catch someday. My friends had a buddy that does guiding in the saltwater, and he’s heard of a few being caught along the Maine coast this year.

Not sure if the bones are still around in RI but I am going to give it a try this weekend. That, and some seabass action.

Hopefully you get on them. My upstate ny plan may be in jeopardy due to a oil leak. Might have to stick closer to home

I'm hoping to launch the yak in the Long Island sound to get into some hardtails as well.  Looks a little windy for the kayak so hopefully the weather cooperates.

Good luck.  We get them in the sound into October. My best day was in October...landed 13 albies.

From the sounds of it there aren't a ton of albies in the exact area I'm going but I'm hoping bonito or spanish macks are around if the albies aren't.  Planning on getting there in the dark to toss some eels before the sun comes up.  Should be a fun morning.

I can recommend a spot where the bass are eating those eels before sunrise if you'd like.

Be ready to get into some bones. Not sure about the macks but bones are going nutz from what I am hearing. Albies soon to follow. Hopefully I can find them tomorrow and I wish you luck as well. The sushi i made from them was out of this world so I need at least bone. Bleeding them right away and keeping them as cold as possible on ice is key.

Jethro - Did you see the sushi pictures on the first page of this thread? I forgot to mention that the left roll also had some fresh steamed blue shell crab in it. that was GOOD!
