Gearing Up for Albies with Capt. Brian Coombs | Rods, Reels, Lures, & Electronics for False Albacore

Captain Brian Coombs loves false albacore. Every year, he dedicates several weeks of his season to the exclusive pursuit of these speedsters. Earlier this fall, we spend a day chasing albies with Brian, and seeing the rods, reels, and lures he uses for false albacore, as well as how he uses his electronics to catch more albies when they aren't showing on the surface.

Brian is probably the most albie crazy fisherman along with myself i’ve ever seen

[@mickmouse92]

I got my first one back in September out of CT. It is completely understandable now why some would become a albie fanatic!! It was awesome.

i love albies .. any striped bass vids coming up ?

If you drive your boat into a school of feeding albies they will scatter and you won't catch _anything._ Try to position yourself 100 yards upwind of the splashes and cut your engine. The wind will carry you toward the feed where you'll have a couple minutes to get bit.

Brian Coombs is a great fisherman but he's got a hot temper. Pick another captian you'll have a better day
