The first Albacore report is here. There are some fish being caught of Avila near the Donut. There is a party boat with 18 fish and they have lost some also. There is a sport boat in the same area that has 13 fish this today. This is a good sign that we will have Albacore in Santa Cruz around July. Get your gear ready! So far the boats fishing Salmon have 0-3 fish near the Black Buoy around 36'50/121'53. There were some anglers who caught limits early near the Black Buoy trolling deep in 240 feet of water. The 36'50/121'54 area was good and there were some big fish caught in the Soquel Hole. The best bite at the Hole was at 36'51/121'57 and some of the fish were only 50 feet down while others were 120-200 feet down. The wind was down all morning so it was a nice day on the water. There were a few Halibut caught in front of the Harbor and in Capitola in 50-60 feet of water. The Rockcod continues to be good on the local reefs.
