We began our annual Steve Kimbrough four day with plenty of time to take advantage of some local albacore action being reported as close as twenty five miles from San Diego. As it turned out, the reports were accurate and we were able to piece together a fine first evening of albacore fishing hatching seventy five of the longfin in the three hours before dark. With a good beginning to our trip, good weather in the forecast, and plenty of time to prospect offshore, we will be searching for bluefin and other offshore gamesters for at least the next two days.
