While loading up with macs yesterday (Saturday).

I pulled in a stringer of those little guys.
Another first for me too.

I thought about using them as live bait, but I released them.

Water temp in outer harbor is lower 60s and its almost mid october.
Must be why.

Bass fishing was awesome and lots of blues around too.

possible mistaken id on the albie ,could it be small b.f.t. ? started checking photos of albies , not a match , not bonito , not spanish mackrel , closest match is a blue fin tuna ? 6 vertical stripes , pointymouth , sharp teeth , large dorsal fin , i have a cell phone photo but do not have the equiptment nor the brains to load photo , as i have never seen either in person i am confused but the stripes were more green than blue . if i can make the m.s.b.a. meeting i will try to show photo around or if time permits try to get to a verizon store to print out photo .

Would be cool to know what it is. Some juvenile fish look quite a bit different than the mature version.
Do you know how to send pics from your phone? You could send it to an email addy, then post here.

There ya go,,been the strangest year EVER in boston harbor.

Makes me think, over the weekend I was loading with macks and a couple in the bunch had different markings.

But everything else was identical to our common mackerel.
I have no idea why it had that pattern. the stripes were broken I would say it was more spotted than striped.
I didnt check for teeth.

They still worked great for striper bait !!!!!
