Anatomy of a Casual Albie Fishing Trip on Cape Cod

Captain Mike Hogan jumps aboard his buddy's Boston Whaler Guardian for a little mid-day “hookie" fishing trip on Cape Cod targeting early September Albies. Capt. Mike breaks down the anatomy of a casual Albie Trip and how to avoid the stress of running and gunning in the “fleet” by using his favorite technique: “Walk and Gun.” Capt. Mike deep dives on methods of finding your own albies, tactically approaching schools, presenting casts, tying knots and which retrieve to use on what lures when.
