Albacore Tuna

#1 Post by The Austrian »

Anyone interested? Heard about a few sightings recently. Might be worthwhile to look into booking a charter, just for the craic.

Very interesting to hear of Albacore that far North this early or at all TBH. I've heard of good catches about 50 mile off west Kerry and there was reports of a few in Cork a few years back. Having said that I was in Brandon last week and the surface sea Temp was 16.5 degrees, so you never know. Global Warming and all that.
