Chub Mackerel
Chub mackerel are widespread in the Indo-Pacific. The chub mackerel is widely distributed, usually found in the northwestern, southeastern, and northeastern Pacific. They are generally found within 20 miles (37 km) off the coast in waters between 10 to 22 °C. Young mackerel live around sandy beaches or kelp beds, while adults are found in deeper waters in, shallow banks to 300 m deep. The chub mackerel relies on camouflaging itself to stay hidden from its predators. It has a dorsal pattern very similar to the light pattern of the waves and sun. When in danger, the fish move close to the surface of the water to merge with the flickering light of the sun making them difficult to see from above. Known to fisherman as the hardhead, the chub mackerel is regularly fished and canned for human consumption, pet food, bait, or served fresh. It is a healthy meal, high in protein and rich in omega-3 and unsaturated fatty acids.

This cache has an exeptionally nice view!
Welcome to the Fishy series! A series of caches made as a geoart for HAG XIX. Since this years theme is water, the series has been placed along a water related trail. Some spots along the trail have significant erosin and cliffs. Please use caution. The trail does get quite wet (and floods,) but has some great views and provides a great walk or hike. If you have solved Fishy #1, you will know where abouts to park for the rest of the series. Please close all containers properly and hide back as found. Hope everybody enjoys the series and the trail as much as I did!
