albacore in ireland
Looks like albacore may take off in Ireland following the recent years
development of a bluefin fishery. Up to now the only albacore caught were quite small but a new record for Ireland was caught last September. The fish was just a shade under 36.75lbs (16.66 kg). There's a pic of that albacore here http://www.cfb.ie Just the one unfortunately. He was using fairly heavy gear to get the fish in by the look of the rod and reel. BTW the blue fishery is a voluntary catch and release thing, and as such is open to abuse... The good news is some anglers are co-operating with one of the USA led tagging programmes where the pop-up satellite tags are attached to the fish prior to release. mylo |
