Here's a report from the sport boats out of Fort Bragg. I got this off USAfishing.com

"The good news is the albacore bite broke open offshore and both private and party boats hammered big counts of longfins. On the salmon front Don Akins on the Rumblefish reports that the bite was slow for everyone. The Rumblefish trolled for salmon all day and managed to boat just 4 salmon for a big load. Don said a few private boats managed to boat limits but most struggled to hit the fish per rod mark. It just looks like the fish are off the bite as there is plenty of feed and cool water temps along the beach. The El Patron started the day off salmon fishing and at mid morning headed offshore in pursuit of albacore. At 9:AM with three salmon to 34 pounds in the box captain Tom got word ( from the Double Vision) of the hot tuna action offshore and decided his chances of putting his charter group into fish was decidedly better offshore. Joining up with the Double Vision 33 miles due west of Ft Bragg at the Vizciano Knoll 33 albacore joined the three salmon in the fish box. It was Kevin on the six pack catamaran Double Vision whom located the fish this morning. His group of six anglers landed 40 albacore to 40 pounds. Most of the fish hit a variety of jigs from Mex flag zukers to black and purple jetheads. These aren't peanuts either. Most of the fish were running 18 to 20 pounds with lots of fish in the 20 pound class. This is one of the fastest and earliest starts to the North Coast albacore season and it looks to be a good one. The weather is great with fog and little wind or swell. "
