2015 Albacore talk

Bayside reported a boat was out for 3 days looking for albacore, but didn't find any.  I'm guessing it was Big Frank.

Monterey Buoy was above 61.2 for the past 24 hours.

That was some Dexter looking blood splatter.  6 at once is good times.

It sure was!

I saw those bayside reports too. I am classmates with a young pretty woman who told me it was her dad out looking for albacore ( I don't know if there were multiple boats out at the same time period??)  "Tuna Mike" owns the Sea Angel, a big beautiful tuna boat in SC harbor. Again, I don't know if there were multiple boats out for a few days but he came back skunked too.

I thought Big Frank owned the Sea Angel, but Mikey is always fishing with him.

You are probably right then. I just like studying with pretty girls, I don't always remember everything they say 

Warm water everywhere, but where are the albies?

Albacore caught in 290 FOW off trinidad this morning.

Straight out on the 03 line its about ~7 miles.  I'm not sure what line it was caught on.  There has also been some confusion on the radio and someone is saying it may be a mackerel.  I'm waiting for pics.

It was a horse mackerel.  There are some big ones boiling on the surface.  Some were caught in Eureka in 300ft.  I was excited when I heard it on the radio.

Is that the Trachurus symmetricus also referred to as Jack Mackerel?

The water is too warm now.     Monterey Buoy hit 66 yesterday, 63.3 was the overnight low.  What a strange week.  Bring on the exotics.

I heard there was a 114 pound Opah caught out of Eureka.

Yes and a Dorado was landed out of Fort Bragg.  While the guy was fighting the opah they hooked a yellowtail, but it came off and they couldn't get another one to hook up.  A boat did an overnight trip and scored 13 tuna out of Eureka, but most of the action was 80-100 miles from the jetti5.  The opah crew went 80 miles out for their 13 albacore and 1 opah.

You hear about all of the PacButts caught out of Eureka yesterday, Rob?

I have been seeing the skinny flat fish diving in Ft Bragg.  Are they opah or different flat fish.  The first one I saw diving the white was so bright I thought it was the bottom of a GWS.  Then it turned sideways and I was laughing inside. 

So are all these weird species free game if they are not in the regulations.   Not that I want an opah but other species maybe.
