Whether or not you guys realize it...they are down there. It's probably better you guys don't realize it...and just ignore the fact....and keep on fishin'!

With Makos the increase in activity might be temp related. It used to be that we'd get the first big influx of makos when the offshore temps hit 60 to 63, which we used to call albacore temps as the albies like that same temp range. Those temps used to come in June, about the time of the first barracuda runs, now we have them all winter. I always thought they migrated north for the summer then back down to Mexican waters midwinter, and some tagging data backs that up, but it could be they are just staying here year round now.
