3 Days on the Boats
#17

Hi there aquaman,

I read some interesting stuff on the albies that swing our way. Seems like 91 and 92 were pretty good years too for very big fish.

It said that the albies are only about 15 pounds when they hit mexican waters and gain weight according to forage which in turn affects bait. They are willing to hang around one area for weeks on end if the water temp and the bait are there. Anywho, in 91 some people were catching 90 pound albies off the back side of Santa Cruz. They go up to around British Columbia and make a sharp left back into the northern pacific where they grow to about 150 pounds.

I wonder if they eat themselves out of existance like the Bluefin Tuna?

Though others might find their run interesting.

Oh ya, I thought the thing about thier gliding at 100 feet back down to 300 feet crusing depth interesting too. The commercial boys really got these creatures habits down.
