A classic case of good news and bad news today with the good news being the sign of albacore offshore was outstanding today with spots of fish scattered across thirty miles or more and water conditions favoring their nature. The bad news was that they were far from a biting mood dishing out tremendous frustration aside from a few shots early in the morning. After the morning shot we spent the day in start and stop mode with rarely more than an hour passing that we did not see some kind of significant sign of fish. As reported however the spots of fish in ninety nine percent of cases continued on their way leaving us with nothing to show for our efforts. Such seems to be the pattern this season regardless of where they make a showing and as time has proven the only recourse is to forge ahead while waiting for their fickle attitude to change. So we wait and thankfully we have several more days to do so and the weather is fine. We now hope that luck will lean in our favor and the fish will get with the program.
