WOW - I'll Remember This Day! Kayak False Albacore!
Вставка

- Whew this was a seriously insane day. I don't get in on them like this very often. Considered bait by the meat guys but well liked by most sport fisherman. These things zip all over attacking small bait and can be extremely finicky. This was a day where they were more aggressive then usual and I luckily end up with double digit landings!
I used 15lb braided line, 15lb flourocarbon leader, and a 7/8 oz Hogy Epoxy jig in silver. Working it fast and holding the rod tip low to the water. I always tried to cast ahead of the fish boiling up on the surface. Fun stuff and a fast paced day!!!

All I used was a 7/8oz Hogy Epoxy Jig in Silver for Albies - 15lb Flourocarbon leader (3-4 feet barrel swivel, 15lb braided line) Casting into fish that were breaking frequently accounted for easier hook ups and I noticed holding the rod tip lower to the water prevented the jig from flying out of the water too much. This type of fishing is best in Montauk and further north so I don't get to cash in on it much locally. I'm not that experienced at this type of fishing honestly.
EliasVFishing do a false albacore catch and cook
EliasVFishing ..great albie action! When you keep one for cooking. Remember to trim out the darkest meat.
...Being in the tuna family it should taste very good. It's probably healthier than the larger tunas with much less or no trace of heavy metals in the meat.
I found skipping the epoxy erratically along the top of the water as quickly as possibly turned them on also. Check out hogans video on the Hogy site
😂... why are you always hating on the blue fish
I always loved the fact that they like a fast retrieve... in a fishing world where many of the game fish prefer it to be slowed down, the albies are a welcomed change.
where is the catch and cook?
Brett Stone next time!!
I've eaten them... they are NASTY! My cat wouldn't even touch it. lol
Regarding the catch and cook...false albies can taste good if done up right. Bleed them out immediately, put them on ice and cut the bloodline from the meat. certain areas of this fish taste like tuna though not enough good meat to waste such an amazing sport fish.
Catch and cook false Albie and skipjack?
WOW! Elias this looks like a once in a blue moon type of trip.
We used to get them on snapper poppers- exactly where you are and in front of the breezy jetty all the way to tilden and sometimes by 222 bayside on the surf with tins / metals- glad I saw the vid brings back memories- really fun fish to run into
Caught my first Kayak Albie last weekend in eastern Long Island. Insane when they went under the kayak. Thought I would flip for sure. I prefer to catch them from the beach only for this reason. Amazing video. Thanks!!!!!!
Last week was like that in RI. Crazy bite! This Hurricane has kept me off the water though, hoping it lays down so I can get a shot at them this weekend. Hurricane Jose came at the worst possible time.
Awesome. I would love to get in a school like that. Never caught a Bonita. We usually don't get many in NJ unfortunately. These things are absolute tanks. Really make the drag scream.
Yeah I had to wait for the bluefish to move off also.
EliasVFishing and I just realized you're almost at 25k subscribers. Been killing it lately. I remember watching your videos when you only had a couple thousand subs.
Thanks for being there since the beginning. It's been a long ride with hard work but I am starting to see some results this year!
xIEm1n3m If you really want to catch Albies and Bonito in NJ, party boats out of Belmar go for them daily. The Bonito are very good to eat too!
Livin the dream! I have only seen them once...on the beach . My buddy and I ran for our lives but couldn't catch up to them they are FAST!
I did catch one in Florida but from a boat..that's cheating right :)
Cool day of fishing! Little surprised you're not doing a catch and Cook.
Haven't been out in a while but am hoping they're in the back by the high school(Beach Channel) like last year so I can put Matthew and Jennifer on them. Another great video Elias.
These really are a fun fish to catch and put up a Hell of a fight. This years bite has been great and cant forget my 12 Albie day on the Big J.
We catch them here just off of Catalina Island. We troll at like 10 kt's! It's crazy. Bleed them out right away and they make good eating.
We went out looking for them this day too! No luck as they were far and we were fishing from the surf! We saw you from the last jetti from sea gate though lol
That was fun to watch!! You brought ice to keep a fish but I think you should have iced down your reel on the ride back to the parking lot!!! Btw I noticed your life jacket is not your duck taped version, good to see. We wouldn't want an accident out there with all the power boaters. Stay safe.
Once in a lifetime bite on a kayak , great video
bluefishbrad depends on where you live. That happens all the time where I live. I got well over 300 Albies from shore here this season.
awesome video Elias! I got into the False Albacore for the first time this October, what a ride man! Looks like you got lucky and didn't have to chase them far! Ive chased the for miles out here in Montauk and only hooked up a couple times.
dude, u were nailing those albies!! tudulooo
I need to get out there and catch some. I don't think be able to get out for a while due to wind. I'm 15 and I've never caught one. I've seen birds working in the bay but no fish on them. It makes me sick to know how close they are but I might have to wait a few more years
Sitting watching this in Buckingham, England. I love your vids, this was awesome!
NICE!!! Ever catch a northern stargazer? I got one last week and got shocked by the damn thing!
+Frank Stein never caught one yet!
Ha! My first Stargazer caught me by surprise also. I was very young and had no idea what I was dealing with. :)
EPIC..... Keep up the awesome video Man.... Tight Lines....
Half way through the video, I'm thinking, you should do a catch and cook, I've never eaten one of those. And at the end of the video, I'm surprised you didn't do a catch and cook. Have you ever eaten one of those albies? Great fishing day by the way.
Elias!!! Yes, the Albie video!!! They sure are fun to catch and they hit the line so fast. They love those Hogy Epoxy jigs! Btw, No catch & cook? Aaaaa, no biggie, just glad to see you slamming them brother!
+Rocky Esposito next time c & c. Those jigs are great!
EliasVFishing whats funny... I go off the Golden Eagle out of Belmar (really good people tbh)... We usually ride out anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 Hour and 5 minutes to start catching Albies. And most of the time, where fighting Mackerel at the top. Another great way I was recently taught on the boat to snag big Albies.... Just put a Peanut Bunker on a hook, let the bunker sink until you just lose sight of it... Albies love Peanut Bunker too!
trying to find epoxy jigs in stores is next to impossible, i feel like no store in nbc has them
nyc*
assasin1418 Its was like that in a few of the bait & tackle shops in South NJ too... They are great for Albies, but also Bonitos & Mackerels... (even blues will pounce on them time to time)
Bass pro shops at the store but I got all of mine on Amazon. Bone Glow is great
Do false albacore catch n cook
@ Young Guns Angling False albie is a lot of work to prepare and if you do everything right it's mediocre at best.

Lengdary day looks like all those Alberts give u a good run for ur money.. classical jazz music was great
I was not going for the elevator music at end but love the videos keep it up
How are you liking the tsunami shield? I just bought a 6000 for my light surf rod and can't wait to get out and use it.
Ran into them last Sunday what a blast one of my favorite yearly run
Elias, awesome day on an epic bite. Enjoyed the video! 👍
They are a member of the Tuna family. The Japanese eat False Albacore as sashimi so it isn't any worse than Mackeral in fishiness. It has a bad rep because commercial fishermen have much bigger dollar better-tasting catches available than these oily fish. I don't like like Mackeral either for the same reason, I'd rather go releasee them and get fish from the market.
dude that ocean fishing looks way to legit!! haha sick video man , keep it up
Sweet I hope I find some in ct
How do you like that Lowrance Mark-4 depth finder? I'm looking into buying one for my kayak.
I hope you do a catch and cook. I've tasted one that was cooked in a stew with corn and a bunch of vegetables and spices. It was pretty tasty, so don't be scared off by some of the horror stories.
great video. looks fun
I'm super jealous, looks like such a fun day on the water. No catch and cook for the albies??
Next time, was too wrapped up in the fishing for them. Fisherman first showman second sometimes...
I totally understand! I've never caught false albacore in a blitz like that looks like an absolute blast.
What winds do you look for when surf launching?
How do you like the Tsunami Shield?
Wow dude that's incredible, awesome video, I'm in Ct which usually has a pretty good run and I haven't seen anything close to that, although I haven't been out all that much with work taking up my time
Catch and cook Albie's!
Marlin bait!!!
Damn nice day good job
How come you have different names for them ?
Elias, can you still get them around the 1st week in October?
+Colin Cournoyer yeah usually they're prime then
i wish the ocean would lay down in new jersey to get a shot at them in the surf
+RH421939 yeah hopefully they come back...
Were is this place.??????
New Subbed. Is that the tsunami shield reel? Hows it handle when under load?
+Mon S works great so far. Got myself a second!
Is that a new YAK? revo 16?
Use a dock demon zebco for blue fish
Love to hear those drags scream.
+Robert Gerber nothing better!!
Do a false albacore catch and cook
Elias are u still down south? I've been waiting for them to start crashing the hook but Jose's got the surf blown out
+Bob Manzi Brooklyn
Crazy! I'm fishing right across the pond and no albies on this side
Just fun
How did you like the new Shield reel?
I like it a lot! Picked up a second one this week.
Glad to hear it. Im waiting for them to release the new fully sealed smaller sizes.
Why don't you revive albies I'm mostly a freshwater fisherman so I usually revive all fish I have out of the water over a minute
+TheP1ck6 they never swim side to side apparently just straight. Supposedly that side to motion messes them up.
Try a catch and cook with albies
If you do a catch and cook you have to bleed them right away and then it taste like any other tuna
How did you attach the brain to the fluro?
barrel swivel
I went out to the mudhole and a shark ate my dads epoxy jig
Take the girlfriend out for supper tnite or watch a new Elias fishing video?? Dah! sorry babe, maybe we'll run thru tim hortons drivr thru later.
Lmao thanks man. I'm glad some people still appreciate the raw fishing videos.
EliasVFishing Man my catches this year were way more than previous years because Ive put to use the tips and tricks u give in your videos, watching these makes me a better fisherman, and incentive to go out more. Ive watched every single video youve put out, best fishing channel on youtube IMO. Good info and entertaining at the same time. 🖒
