Any reports on escaped Yellowtail Kingfish

I have heard there are still some around. Has anyone seen or caught any close to shore this week. I can't get down south to chase the salmon over Easter so I am hoping I might find some Yellowtail's. Any information would be greatly appreciated, Colin Hay
