5-Day Outlook as of 10/3/23
Inconsistent weather has been leading to spotty fishing, but the good days have been very productive. Albacore are not being seen as frequently from shore, but they are still being caught in decent numbers a bit further out. Still plenty of good fall fishing to be had before it slows down for the year.
Techniques & Tips as of 10/3/23
Sub surface. Changing retrieve speeds to figure out a preferred tempo.
