Hear that? It's growing in volume. The countdown to the first sport albacore tuna landing of the season is underway, and Northwest Wild Country is ready to reward whoever can gaze deepest into the Pacific Northwest crystal ball and identify the DATE and LANDING PORT of the first confirmed sport-caught albacore tuna in both Oregon and Washington.

The prizes: NWWC Albacore Attack Bags loaded with tuna swag!!!!!!

So here's how it works: post your official entries for DATE and PORT right here! You can enter guesses for both Washington and Oregon, or, you can choose one state or the other. Two Attack Bags are up for grabs.

Take a swing at it, GFers ... and get moving! It won't be long ... *tick tock tick tock*

THE OFFICIAL RULES: One entry per person. In the event of a tie, the EARLIEST POSTED ENTRY wins. All decisions about ports, dates, winners, losers, prizes, deliver, etc. are mine. Any contest malcontents will walk the plank.

Seems like the water temp out of La Push this weekend was only a few degrees off... like 2 degrees. Im a rookie though, could be wrong.

This week out of Oregon. Probably Newport, or Charston.

My Guess is Wednesday or Thursday.

We had the color and almost the temp on Saturday. But looking at Terrafin I think they would have to have skipped a bunch. Granted I am a newbie with just one year under my belt. But I think you need a better connection with the waters down south. Have heard from a buddy I trust who is in the commercial side of things they are still way to far for "sporties".

Olybirds and myself had the first Washington checked fish last year, but it was July.

14th out of Garabaldi someone will be prospecting starting at the 50 line. Might be the first. Depends on water. SST's are not as good right now though looking at terraffin.
