| Around 10% of the world's total fish species can be found just within the Great Barrier Reef. |

| When Anglerfish mate, they melt into each other and share their bodies forever. |

|
| Not all fishes lay eggs. |
| Fishes like split fins, surf-perches, and some sharks instead carry and give birth to live young. Scientists have also discovered that the embryos of some of these fishes actually consume each other in the womb. How’s that for creepy fish facts? |

|
| The Sea Anemone looks like a flower, but it’s actually a carnivorous animal that eats small fish and shrimp. |
|
|
|
| Fishes hear with both their ears and their skeletons, sensing the vibrations of sound in the water. |
| Scientists even suspect that sharks can clearly hear sounds from over 3 km away. |
|
|
| In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

| As of 2020, there were 34,000 known fish species around world. That’s more than the number of species in all other vertebrates: birds, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians combined. |

| Even Catfish are finicky |
| Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

|
| Fish have built in radar? |
| Built-in Radar Many species of fish have a powerful sense organ called the lateral line running across their body. It can detect motion in the water, allowing them to hunt prey, avoid predators, and navigate in the dark. |

Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

Feb 20, 2003; 08:09PM - Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Sportfishing Report 2/12 - 2/20/03

The oncoming full moon, stronger currents and the seasonal turnover of the waters off Ixtapa Zihuatanejo all occurred last week making fishing difficult and scattered. The abundant bait supply diminished and with it the predators looked for more fertile feeding grounds. The arrival of a colder inshore current pushed the blue water out to beyond the 15 miles mark and boats had to go an average of 24 miles to find productive SAILFISH water. Boats were finding it difficult to average more than one to 2 strikes per day off SAILFISH while the action on YELLOWFIN TUNA picked up substantially. The most productive boat for YELLOWFIN TUNA this past week was Captain Chico on the Llamarada fishing with Michigan anglers Tom and Cynthia Stanek. In two days of fishing the duo landed 20 YELLOWFIN TUNA to 50 lbs.. New Jersey angler Ron Reinhardt fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos also got into some YELLOWFIN TUNA landing 5 along with 1 SAILFISH. French Anglers Mr. Lorieux and Coudrier fishing aboard the super panga Leydy landed 3 SAILFISH, 4 YELLOWFIN TUNA , 3 DORADOS 4 YELLOWTAIL JACKS and 7 BONITOS in 5 days of fishing. Returning Chicago angler and second place winner of the The oncoming full moon, stronger currents and the seasonal turnover of the waters off Ixtapa Zihuatanejo all occurred last week making fishing difficult and scattered.

Returning Chicago angler and second place winner of the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Total Tag & Release tournament ( www.ixtapasportfishing.com/tournament), Ellen Levine, landed a single SAILFISH on her first day out with Captain Jose Vargas on the La Bamba. Inshore, the colder currents have really made a mess of things. NO ROOSTERFISH were reported and there was only marginal action on Jacks, Spanish Mackerel, Bonitos and Green Jacks.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Climate: Seasonably beautiful with cool mornings and afternoon temps in the high 80's
Sea Conditions: Calm
Best fishing areas: 20 - 25 mile offshore
Bait supply: Fair
