I fished hardcore last year. Due to the warmth of the water, I did not think Atlantic Bonito would be down this south either. I had never seen them reported on any sport boats, and it was several years before I stumbled upon taking one. Since then, I have noted the Pacific version is sometimes taken off Hawaii. During cooler water periods or if the species stays deep, it can inhabit warmer latitudes. Same goes for the greenback mackerel. Identical looking to the Pacific Mackerel, I will sometimes catch an Atlantic Mackerl down deep. Locally they are called Tinker Mackerels.

That's some incredible fishing! Makes me jealous that great fish like Barracuda and False Albacore are considered consolation fishes over there! The cudas there definitely beat the ones we have here. I have to do some kayak fishing down there one of these days.

LOL... Sometimes true, but probably because Ben is frequently using a Sabiki.
Sabiki's are an awesome tool for expanding one's fish catch life-list. Speaking of which last time out, I hit the wrecks looking for bait and took both a Yellowjack and a Rainbow Runner on the Sabiki. The Yellowjack was too big for bait, but the Rainbow Runner caught a Barracuda later that day. If those are still on your list? Take a trip South Ben. |

I sure will, John! As for the cudas, I've caught and eaten great barracuda before in Belize and Bonaire and while they were delicious and the locals never said they had issues with them, the thought of potentially vomiting and even being paralyzed hours after my meal kind of ruined my appetite. I guess any kind of reef fish can have it, from what I've heard. I have heard of the bug trick; it would be interesting to study how consistently it works.
