Yesterday myself and a group of MFCC members headed out at sunrise in search of the first false albacore of the season.
By no means was the action "lights out" but based on reports I feel we did pretty well, catching a total of 4 albies and seeing many more on the surface.
The morning began with a nice sunrise over the blow of captain Cullen's 27ft Conch. The wind was pretty fresh out of the northeast, but the waves and chop were very manageable.

MFCC member Ed Miles was the first to spot albies busting on the surface, and also the first to hook up!
We moved around quite a bit in pursuit of the breaking fish. The albies were a tad finicky but we all had several very good opportunities.
Cullen will be taking another group from My Fishing Cape Cod out albie fishing the morning of Friday September 9th. At this moment there are 2 spots available.

Do you leave the stock hooks on the hogy jigs or change them out?
Stock hooks seem to work very well.
Thanks!
Did you break out your fly rod on this trip Ryan? Albies on a fly rod. Now that’s fun!!
I brought the fly rod with me but did not get a chance to use it.
With my limited fly rod casting ability, I would need to be put smack dab into the middle of a large feed! lol
Will try the fly rod soon though I hope.
