Small Albacore Tuna captured on light line. Albacore are prolific in the area from January through to April.
These fish range from 2.5kg up to around 25kg in weight, with fish around the 15 - 20kg size quite common.
(Photographs Below) (Top) Another catch of Albacore. Fish which are retained are bled on capture and make great eating. They are commonly referred to as "chicken of the sea". Unwanted fish are carefully released.
(Bottom) A Happy angler with a solid Albacore. The fish are in excellent condition due to the amount of baitfish in the area which the Albacore actively chase and feed on.
