The worst part is,we aren't the only ones harvesting the tunas. Our seasons,and quotas have good intentions but if others overseas kill them all, were still SOL. It needs to be an international effort and must be ENFORCED EVERYWHERE! Otherwise we're screwing ourselves.

You are absolutely right, about all that Fredfish; still; we, I SUPPOSE; need to "speak up" about it more often, to "the Powers That BE"... Don't really know if that'd do much good, but it would prolly "FEEL good".

The name of the lure is a herter’s mouse plug.

Ain't never seen that lure, but it sure looks kinda happy ¿Don't it? ... Yes, migrate fits there... ¿Who can clarify the difference between "migratory" & "pelagic"? (I know Swordfish are classified as "pelagic") ...

Migrating means migrating from one place to another. Pelagic means dwelling in a certain location. A “pelagic” area and they do not leave that area.

Tuna,Swordfish,and Marlin cross the Atlantic Ocean and are caught off southern Europe and North Africa.

Lure looks a lot like a Heddon mouse with a missing tail. Lure was a shallow runner like a minus one !

The more I "mull this question over" (in my warped mind); the more I think; that being "pelagic" does not "preclude them" from also being "migratory"... We'd catch CERTAIN swords, from X to X, that had a kind of a ... almost a kind of a "wrinkly" or, "rippled" look about them... The Capt. had made a comment one day, indicating that, that "rippled look" was due to the fact, that they'd been doing some serious traveling.

You got me on that one and I've been collecting for many years. It resembles a Creek Chub Dive Bomber or Kreeker but the color pattern and hardware don't indicate a Creek Chub.
What is it?

Oh yeah Able, they migrate,but in open Ocean, not along coastlines,like Stripers and Bluefish.
Bluefin tuna,tagged off New England, have been caught in the Mediterranean sea.

$$$$$ In them fishes. The oriental market is driving the Bluefin prices through the roof. From what I've heard,primo fatty Bluefin bring $70.00+ per pound,street price in Tokyo. Commercial guys are getting paid $10-25.00 lb at the dock.

Not sure about the lure. Fish MIGRATE every year. 👍

I'm tellin' ya; the LAST swords I'd "packed-out", $old for $6.58/lb. ¡¡OFF THE BOAT!! (& THAT was a pretty fair paycheck, for a week's worth of work)... I cleared $somewhere either just N. or S. of $2K, as I recall... We'd only fish ¡1 week outta the month! = the week of the Full Moon. The other 3 weeks of the month, the boat stayed @ the hill. I'd sometimes "go bait fishing" on a purse-seine boat, a few days in between, just to try and "save my liver"; if not really even in bad need of the money. (Hell, I was LIVING on the boat.)
