Yes, the albacore have appeared west of Moss Landing. 'Harvey' at Tom's Sportfishing told me they landed 5 on Sunday, with another 9 being caught Monday. Both days were "beautiful" out there, apparently -- light to no winds, flat water, clear blue skies...

Unfortunately, my weekend plans kind of came crumbling down around me, so we won't be heading over the hill this weekend, after all; maybe later this summer. ;(

Damn, I was looking forward to that 4 a.m. start on Sat.! Hopefully, I'll be able to wet my lines *somewhere* out there this weekend; just not sure which day or where.
