Tagging Little Tunny
I recently sent a Littoral Society data card to Jeff Dement at the Sandy Hook office. He called to tell me that he appreciated my tagging a Little Tunny AKA false albacore AKA fat albert. He wants help to tag as many of them as possible since there is very little data about their migration patterns. If any of you are Littoral Society taggers and catch one or more of those speedsters, please tag them and send the cards back to Jeff. If you don't personally catch one but someone you are with or near happens to reel one in, ask if you can tag it. It's a worthwhile effort and very satisfying when a tag is returned. It's tax deductible as well. One tagged false albacore that was tagged in Deal was recaptured in Florida several months later. The more fish that are tagged, the better.
