I have never fished for albacore before. I am considering going on the 1 1/2 day this Friday. If not Friday, I will go very soon. I was wondering if there was anyone else going on this trip. Also, since this will be my first albacore trip I was wondering if anyone can tell me the pole/tackle requirements. My Seeker rod and Squidder reel can handle about 25-30lb test. Help is appreciated.
