During late summer and fall here on Cape Cod we are gifted by the appearance of false albacore, which are in my opinion the most exciting fish to catch on light tackle!
Albies fight harder and longer than striped bass and bluefish. They go on mad runs, stripping dozens of yards of line from a light spinning reel.

Albies also crash bait and lures on the surface, and hunt at amazingly high rates of speed, which only adds to the excitement.
Albie fishing can be quite addictive and I often hear about anglers saying they need to get their false albacore "fix".
In this blog post I'd like to share with you a series of videos about fishing for false albacore on Cape Cod.
If you have any questions, then please feel free to leave a comment below. Or even better, feel free to take part in the albie conversation inside our members' forum.
False Albacore Cape Cod | Video #1
The following video was filmed during September of 2019. During this trip, big schools of false albacore were feeding alongside bonito and Spanish mackerel.
On this day I was false albacore fishing from my kayak, and I ended up catching some of the biggest false albacore of my entire season, by casting white Albie Snax soft plastic lures.
I would retrieve the Albie Snax across or just beneath the surface using a series of twitches and pauses.

False Albacore Cape Cod | Video #2
Catching albies anywhere on Cape Cod is awesome, but when you can catch albies all by yourself, close to shore, with amazing scenery all around you - well that is pretty much like hitting an albie home run!
The following video was filmed during September of 2018. Large schools of albies were feasting on peanut bunker along one of the Cape's most pristine coastlines.
In this video you'll learn where on Cape Cod I was fishing, plus some more info about productive lures.

False albacore sometimes stick around Cape Cod & the Islands well into the month of October.
However, September is in my opinion the best month for chasing albies. Hopefully this year the albies will move into Cape Cod in big numbers.
Also be sure to keep tabs on our forum for the latest updates on where our members are finding albies.
As always best of luck if you make it out fishing over the next few days!
Tight lines 
It was new last year. I don’t bring it on many trips though. Too big!
