Last week, as most of you know I went out for albies by myself since none of you jackasses wanted go. Well it was good you didn't.. Only caught a few blues. Wind blew hard on Sat, Sun was calm. I did find some fish surfacing Sunday morning but couldn't get on em before they would go down. Then a while later found a group of boats where they had just come up, but nothing was happening when I arrived, ran into a guy I know and he said they caught 6 out of that pod... b'; Called it and went home

Wasn't planning on going this weekend. Weather reports were showing for bad wind and rain. That report changed Friday to, light wind and chance of rain. But the fishing reports had been dismal. The well know guides have been having trouble catching. We were considering going to the Smith instead. But with Philpott running water all weekend, we decided to take the chance for albies.
Slow start, didn't find any albies when we arrived, but found tons, and tons, of small blues destroying bait. So we got the skunk off with several dozen of those. Got tired of that and rode around looking for albies. Couldn't find any, so we went back to the blues since there was lots of bait there. Rode around the blues looking for albies mixed in. Did see a few, but couldn't get anything to them. Then one surfaced beside the boat with my line in the water. Drag went screaming, rod tip snapped, and nail knot slipped off the line. I was pissed thinking this was probably my only chance. The bait disappeared and a big rain cloud was coming, so we made a 12 mile run to a different spot to avoid the rain and try out luck there. It was a good choice. Rain was avoided and birds found. A few would break the surface here and there but nothing concentrated. I decided to we should just lay our lines outs and drift a bit. Maybe a minute later Patrick's rod goes screaming. Beast albie in do bote! We then proceeded to catch a few more before calling it!
did break the camera out much, so not many pic to show for..

We didn't take a ton of pictures so I will add what is not a repeat. Jason pretty much covered the day. Great day on the water and that was my first albie d:b. I had hooked some last year but didn't land any. Those fish have some crazy power.

You boys missed out today...
Was delayed by fog. Once it cleared, i had to ride for a bit to find them. No real big pods. But enough to keep it interesting. Then found some big boys hanging behind shrimp boats. Put 9 in the boat.

How's that kraken treating ya?
Piece of shit. Spool nut came loose and the spool fell of twice. Drag was is almost silent. Since there is no clicker the spool spins forward with bumps causing the line to go slack whiles its in the rod holder causing the fly to come loose, and flaying around while running.
The drag is good though.
Send it back. I have had no such issues
Nice bruh.
