False Albacore
Westport, Washington, is a prime jumping-off point for offshore adventures, and that includes targeting False Albacore (also known as Albies or Bonito). These hard-fighting members of the tuna family provide an adrenaline-pumping experience. The Albie season typically runs from late summer into early fall, when warmer currents push closer to shore. Look for areas with bait balls and bird activity, as these are sure signs of feeding Albacore. Trolling small, brightly colored lures or casting metal jigs are effective techniques. Westport's marina is well-equipped, but be sure to check weather conditions before heading out, as the Pacific can be unpredictable. A local tip is to use fluorocarbon leaders, as Albies can be line-shy. The Albacore in this region are known for their blistering runs, so be prepared for a battle!
