If I hadn't seen an albacore jumper this afternoon I'd have called it a snipe hunt. Dry kelps and very little sign of life as we chased the specter of the elusive albacore all afternoon. A few yellows were landed but the longfins wouldn't bite. Spirits remained high and the group enjoyed fair seas and each other's company. By late afternoon the Lakers and the Celtics garnered more attention than the trolling rods. The Shogun will be back out tomorrow evening on a 1 1/2 day trip. Soon a big wad of fish will move into local waters and bite. Could be any day now, and the whole San Diego fleet will be churning up prop wash.
