Hello anglers: As you’ve heard, a few boats returned from the offshore grounds with some good reports. There were only 7 albacore caught over the weekend, but captains reported good conditions: clean water, good bait, 62.5-degree water temps, and one boat even saw some “jumpers.” Boats were fishing in the 100-200 mile range and one albacore weighed in at 25#. The rest of catch was mostly smaller size yellowtail, caught on kelp patties. Another boat stopped at the area on the way south earlier this week for a 5-day trip and caught 10 albacore around 200 miles out. The good news is that conditions look promising and we’re getting some coverage offshore now! Hoping for albacore, Capt Art
