As someone who has spent time on jetties catching these fish, you needed to move. The one that cut you off on the rocks, you needed to move to the tip of the jetty before it swam around. The one where you and the other guy were crossed up, you needed to move towards him and put your rod under his, either by ducking under him or by standing behind him and switching your rod from your right hand to your left hand, with one arm on each side of him, as you pass your rod under his. I prefer to catch them from the beach because these maneuvers can be awkward or sometimes even dangerous, but they are necessary in jetty fishing, if you want to consistently land fish, and sometimes the jetties are where the fish are.
no he shouldn't. the mouth on those fish are too soft and is why many people have their lures popped off. im still learning too but im listening to other experienced fishermen.
no. you need to let these albies run. this is THE fastest coastal fish in the northeast. they will not go for structure and break you off or the hook will pull and damage the mouth. their instinct is to run. they outrun their predators. i'm talking 40-50 mph. nothing inshore swims that fast until you find a bonefish down in florida. you let them take your drag and they'll tire themselves out. he is very likely on 15-20 lb leader if he's able to get these fish to bite. maybe 10. their eyesight is unreal, like bones they do spook because of that, so you run light setups and like a bonefish you need to let them run.
They are such a fun fish to catch.
Wow. Great fun. Good job being the first one out there!
