When the false albacore show up off the Outer Banks in October, rational behavior disappears. Guides cancel trips. Accountants call in sick. This tiny, sparse pattern imitates the bay anchovies that albies are chasing, and it needs to be small, fast, and accurately delivered to fish moving at the speed of bad decisions. Miss the cast, miss the fish. Welcome to albie fishing.
