Doug......
I cannot beleive that your trip is all ready here ! Here is what has worked for me from the beaches.
* All of the spots I suggested you try have two things in common. They tend to have alot of bait and moving water. Albies/Bones like most other fish from my experience like when the bait is somewhat disoriented. There is another spot I may have forgotten to mention and that is the middle of the "U" or bowl at Lobsterville. On a rising tide and if there is not alot of "stuff" in the water, I have caught many, many fish here both from the boat and beach. I have seen and sight casted to them as they moved down the beach here, also. Mind you, you will spend many hours casting for these fish. The key is always have your fly in the water !! Sounds basic but some overlook the number of falsecasts, etc.....
* I like Juro like the Intermediate lines with Fluorocarbon. I have also used deep sinkers in deeper rips to hook up. I usually start with 20lb. and then go to 15lb tippets if I get refusals.
I have a theroy that if the size of the fly is similar to what the bait is and the fly is predominately white, you will connect. Last year, I caught albies in the double digits off the beach one day on 8 different types of flies. All where similar in size and white was the major color.
* On the beach, if you find a large school of bait, stay with it ! I cannot tell you the number of times I have done this and 90% of the time with a moving tide, the albies/bones show up. They may only come thru once but they did come thru. Also, my experience also tells me that in a bowl or harbor or concave type beach, these fish will travel a route and be somewhat consistent. Many times you will not even see them as they come screaming by. Hence, keep the fly in the water ! Also, If you see some of the schools of bunker (peanut bunker,etc..) coming down the beach, try walking down the beach with it and casting around and on the backside as you walk. I have caught quite a few doing this as sometimes, fish will shadow these schools of bait and dip in for a bite to eat. Again, keep your fly in the water !
* When blind casting, I have seemed to hook more albies/bones with a faster retrieve than normal. That doesn't mean the type you might use for barracuda to induce a strike, just faster than a "normal" strip. But, do not hesitate to try different strips.
* When it comes to blitzes, I cannot agree with Juro more. My feeling and experience tells me that the fish tend to work into the current. When you see a blitz (like with all fish) there are many more below the surface. If the blitz is sustained, you may get away with casting into the mix.......but if not try casting well above the fish so it gets to them below the surface (6 to 10ft). The key here is keep the fly in front of the fish ! Fast retrieves may elicit strikes but it also pulls the fly out of the zone. If they are blitzing on the beach and your first cast fails to connect, do not hesitate to roll-cast the fly right back into the water !
* Do not hesitate to stay back from the beach when casting especially if you see them hugging the trough on the beach. I have seen where the fish have hesitated to blitz the beach until we moved back about 15 feet. This is very critical when the bait is right up on the beach,also.
* Lastly, check your drag before you fish. These fish are unforgiving on drags and if it is too tight......."POP" ...there goes your tippet and if it is not tight enough, you may loose the fish or get a rats nest of line.
Good luck and let us know how you did !!
