At Waterfront Park for yesterday’s sunrise I watched two clear the water off the pier. They were huge! I was not camera ready but they did create a wonderful memory.

The dolphin were active behind these two and feeding. The fish I saw glided momentarily and looked like photos on the web of albacore, matching their size and profile.
Boy this is going to save a lot of gas money! Now I can catch albacore in a Jon boat and also save lots, not having to buy all that off-shore stuff!
biggest jack crevalle ever?
tinfoil-wrapped manatee?
homeland security testing out new “fishcams”?
Are you saying they were false albacore? I don’t know about here but back up on Cape Cod they would come into the harbor and feed. Def did not get to more than 12-15 lbs. though. I’m gonna guess either tarpon or sturgeon like Easy and Hungryneck said.
They were probably small tarpon although if anyone mistakes tarpon for albacore, they should probably stick to bass fishing.
five feet? sturgeon. Jacks don’t get that big, nor do fat alberts,

NMFS = No More Fishing Season

I was fishing a crankbait for trout at Castle Pinckney several years ago at daybreak and a 40 plus pound king exploded on it. The next day I saw 3 more large kings cruising the shallows at daybreak. I was ready with the tackle but my casts spooked them. Could be what he saw as the pier is just across the channel.
Ruby Lipped Sea Hag. I got into a school of them bad apples in Key West last night and they took me for a ride doing the Duval Crawl. Make sure you use wire if you’re targeting them things. They’re vicious.
I have caught plenty of kings before in NC; they are long and slender. This is not what I saw and stand my ground.
What 60 line and depth? Where is waterfront park?
I am struggling between two options.
- put a greenstick on my alumacraft to trick them
or
- thawing a box of hering inside my yak’s cockpit and chunking for them
I do not think I have heavy enough tackle to land those beasts tho.
Advice much appreciated.
