Sportfishermen fishing forum

I found another good fish forum with lots of information. http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/ lots of detailed information on rigging, charters, tackle. They have done a fantasic job with this their site.

Posted: Finding out about our trip to Hawaii for Marlin and a fishing trip to the Carolinas for Bluefin tuna.
Going to post all the good information once I have some good fishing Information.

Opening snook season

Still haven’t seen any good snook reports from opening day. Hopefully this will be a good season. Posted a thread on Florida Sportsmen Forum asking for reports, my guess is the weather kept a lot of guys at home last night.

Going to try my luck at Sebastian Inlet next week depending on the weather.

Blue Marlin Fishing

BLUE MARLIN

Blue marlin is the biggest of the Atlantic Marlins and one of the largest fish in the entire world.

Females, which are significantly larger than males, can reach 14 feet in length and weigh more than 1,985 pounds.  Average lifespan in the wild is up to 27 years (female)

Average sizes tend to be in the range of 10 feet and 175 to 400 pounds.

Native to the tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, blue marlins are among the most recognizable of all fish. They are blue on top and silvery-white below, with a pronounced dorsal fin and a long, spear-shaped upper jaw. They oftne change their colors depending on their mood. Excited Blue Marlins will “ligh up” in many electric colors.

They are Pelagic fish, spending most of their lives far out at sea. They are also highly migratory, and will follow warm ocean currents for hundreds and even thousands of miles.

Blue marlins prefer the higher temperature of surface waters, feeding on mackerel and tuna, but will also dive deep to eat squid. They are among the fastest fish in the ocean, and use their bills to slash through dense schools, returning to eat their stunned and wounded victims.

Blue Marlin are known for putting up a tremendous fight when hooked, these billfish are the holy grail for sportfishermen.

Louisiana Hurricane

My prayers go out to all the families and fishermen in Louisiana. I hope that the damage is minimal. I understand many of the fishing lodges just got going again this past year.

Please be safe and lucky.
