Especies de Pesca

	TAXYDERMY BLUE MARLINE This pelagic and migratory species are found in tropical and warm temperate oceanic waters.
Seasonal concentrations occur in the southwest Atlantic from January to April; in the northwest Atlantic from June to October; in the western and central North Pacific from May to October; in the equatorial Pacific in April and November, and in the Indian Ocean from April to October. Blue Marlin apparently grow larger in the Pacific. All giant marlins are females, and male blue marlin rarely exceed 300 pounds. They are known to feed on squid and pelagic fishes, including black fin tuna and frigate mackerel. Fishing methods include trolling large whole baits such as bonito, dolphin, mullet, mackerel, bonefish, ballyhoo, flying fish as well as various types of artificial lures and sometimes strip baits.

	SAILFISH Found in tropical and subtropical waters near land masses, usually in depths over 6 fathoms, but occasionally caught in lesser depths and from ocean piers.
Pelagic and seasonally migratory, sailfish usually travel alone or in small groups. They feed mostly in mid water along the edges of reefs or current eddies. The greatest fishing action is found where sailfish are located on or near the surface. Diet includes squid, octopus, mackerels, tunas, jacks, herring, ballyhoo, needlefish, flying fish, mullet and other small fishes. Fishing methods include trolling with strip baits, whole mullet or ballyhoo, plastic lures, feathers or spoons, as well as live bait fishing and kite fishing from boats using jacks, mullet and other small live baits.

	DORADO Found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas, the dolphin is pelagic, schooling, and migratory.
Though occasionally caught from an ocean pier, it is basically a deep water species, inhabiting the surface of the open ocean. Dolphins are extremely fast swimmers and feed extensively on flying fish and squid as well as on other small fish. They have a particular affinity for swimming beneath buoys, seaweed, logs, and floating objects of any kind. Successful fishing methods include trolling surface baits or artificial lures; also live bait fishing or casting. If the first dolphin caught is kept in the water, it will usually hold to the school, and often others will come near enough to be caught by casting.

	RED SNAPPER Can be found from Florida to South America, throughout the tropical American Atlantic. The colors may vary from orangish to reddish-yellow with small streaks on the head.
They attain weights of 25-30 lbs. They are strong fighters on light tackle and can be taken on natural baits or small lures fished or slowly trolled near the bottom. Normally associated with reefs, wrecks, holes, and channels, they are nevertheless occasionally found on the flats and can be caught there by fly-fishing. They also can be lured to the surface and caught on a fly. This is an excellent eating fish.

	YELLOW TUNA Found worldwide in deep warm temperate oceanic waters. It is both pelagic and seasonally migratory, but has been known to come fairly close to shore.
Their diet depends largely on local abundance, and includes flying fish, other small fish, squid and crustaceans. Fishing methods include trolling with small fish, squid, or other trolled baits including strip baits and artificial lures as well as chumming with live bait fishing. A highly esteemed sport fish and eating fish.

	SNOOK Found only in the American tropics and subtropics. Six species occur in the Atlantic and six in the Pacific. None occur in both oceans.
They inhabit shallow coastal waters, estuaries and brackish lagoons, often penetrating far inland in fresh water. There movements between fresh and salt water are seasonal, but they stay close to shore and never stray far from estuaries. It's diet consists mostly of fish and crustaceans. Fishing methods include trolling or casting artificial lures or still fishing with live baits like pinfish, mullet, shrimp, crabs, or other small fish. The Snook is an excellent eating fish.

	WAHOO Worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas. Pelagic and seasonally migratory, Wahoo tends to be a loner or travel in small groups of 2 to 6 fish.
There are seasonal concentrations off the Pacific coasts of Panama, Costa Rica and Baja California in the summer, off Grand Cayman (Atlantic) in the winter and spring, and off the western Bahamas and Bermuda in the spring and fall. It feeds on squid and pelagic fishes, including small mackerel and tuna, flying fish, puffers, and whatever appears desirable since few fish can escape. Found around wrecks and reefs where smaller fish are abundant, but it may also be found far out to sea. Fishing methods include trolling with whole, rigged Spanish mackerel, mullet, ballyhoo, squid or other small baits as well as with strip baits or artificial lures. An excellent eating fish.

	.JACK CREVALLE Occurs only in the western Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia, Canada, to Uruguay, including the Gulf of Mexico, and occasionally in the West Indies
A voracious predator, it feeds primarily on smaller fishes, which it often chases onto beaches, against seawalls, or into boats. In open water, jacks will herd baitfish into a tight mass, then rush in from all sides, choosing their prey and doggedly pursuing it. The jack crevalle also feeds on shrimp and other invertebrates and on garbage dumped from boats. This is a superb light tackle species, and can be taken by spinning, fly-fishing, trolling, or surf casting, generally with live mullet or pinfish as bait. If a lure is used, it should be retrieved at a fast pace without pausing or stopping, as jacks tend to lose interest in anything that doesn't act normally. Not a terribly good eating fish.

	BARRACUDA Found in the all tropical seas except the East Pacific. Found offshore and inshore around reefs, piers, wrecks, sandy and grassy flats, and wherever smaller fish congregate.
Smaller fish sometimes school, but the large ones are almost invariably loners. The Barracuda eats what ever is available. Fishing methods include trolling with plugs, spoons, and prepared baits; live bait fishing with small fishes; casting and retrieving live and strip baits as well as plugs and spoons. The cast should not land too near a barracuda, but should be retrieved past it at a fast, erratic speed. This species is known to carry ciguatera (nerve poisoning) and is not recommended as an eating fish.
