Unlike some folks, I love false
albacore. They aren’t much good to eat but they are about as stubborn a fighter as
you will ever encounter. They are a real challenge on #30 line and tend to come in packs.
You can expect to hookup on multiple lines for hours at a time under the right
circumstances. I prefer to fish for them with small feathers trolled at 7 or 8 knots. I
have caught them from bouy N2 on out to the 30 fathom lumps. Expect a few in June and then
more in August. They may stay till Halloween. If I want to catch them specifically I look
from 10 to 20 miles out. They are one of the best for beginners to target. I normally ask
my crew to take a "fat albert" day once each year and enjoy this superb fighter.
