Northeast winds result in few reports; bait supplies seem good - Galveston County Daily News

Luckily, Tuesday evening's storm was not much of anything other than wind. It blew fairly hard for a bit but with more bark than bite.

I urge everyone to keep a focus on this disturbance and make sure your watercraft is secure, especially if your boat is in a slip. I think tides may become elevated starting Friday and lasting through Saturday.

Fishing reports were few Wednesday.

Capt. Joe Kent and his wife, Polly, ventured out 40 miles to a submerged platform. He mentioned the current was the worst he had fished in years and water color was terrible. They did not do well, and other boats fishing the same area had similar results.

Kent did send me a report and picture of Capt. Cody and Torii of Galveston Deep Sea Fishing Charters. They caught a 36-inch snapper. They were 70 miles out aboard the Hootie Whoo.

I fished Wednesday out of Eagle Point with a couple of gentlemen who booked me for a boating class. We were greeted by a northeast wind. The area that I have been fishing was nothing more than a mud hole.

The bad water conditions were caused by the northeast wind and low tides. We did manage to find a few, very few, fish under one small group of birds. We ran to some different locations but nothing exciting. I'm going Thursday, which might be the last day to fish until the passage of the weather system.

Bait supplies seem generally good all around the bay. I have heard croakers might be limited at some bait camps. Most camp were flying a "live shrimp" flag. The surf was beautiful when I drove home on the seawall this afternoon. I would venture to say that speckled trout were caught in the green water off the beach.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
