Albacore show 15 miles off Santa Cruz!

News Flash: the “tuna water” has moved onshore near Sana Cruz over the past couple days and on Thursday, boats running out of Santa Cruz harbor only 15-17 miles found nice conditions and scores of 20-30+ fish.

There is a nice weather window Friday and Saturday and then the weather is forecasted to kick back up…

For an in-depth look at all that’s happening out of this port, check out out SC Fishing Report

      Fishbird,
      The Kahuna out of Moss Landing.

      Side note to JD: Tried out the black spot (Dr. Death) River Rocker on silvers in a canyon hole a couple of days ago here in AK. After they had completely shut off on spinners. Four seconds from clicking the reel in gear, to takedown. I have Go-Pro video! Got a date with a tide in a few minutes, and Liza’s itching for another Halibut we dont want in the skiff.

      Ray
