False albacore blitz inlets, surf while more doormat fluke netted - Asbury Park Press

False albacore blitzes in the surf and inlets have ignited a rush of surf casters to the beach.

The fast-moving fish are not easy to lock down as many fishermen are coming up empty-handed without so much as a bump from an albie. The good news is the fish haven't left the area. 

The albies were hit Manasquan Inlet Tuesday morning, one of the first places to have solid reports on the fish. Around 10:30 a.m. that day, Daniel Flores of Brick brought one into Brielle Bait & Tackle to be weighed. 

Greg Bogan said the fish weighed 4 pounds and Flores caught it with a gold epoxy jig. Flores was fishing 'Squan inlet around the top of high tide and also landed a number of bluefish while the bite was hot. 

The albies were in Shark River Inlet Wednesday morning, according to Bobby Matthews at Fisherman's Den in Belmar. Matthews said fishermen used epoxy jigs and some even fly-fished for them.

False albacore were reeled in on the party boats that were chasing bluefish up the beaches. That action started Monday.  Capt. Dave Riback on the Queen Mary party boat said they had them pretty good that day until the tide changed.  

The day blue fishing has been very good at the Shrewsbury Rocks. Capt. Howard Bogan on the Jamaica party boat was in that area Wednesday and said many of his fairs had limit catches on blues and lots of chub mackerel. The top fish for the trip though was a 7-pound false albacore caught by Edgar Calleja of Philadelphia.

Yellowfin tuna are being found about 50 to 70 miles from the coast, and in the canyons, though, canyon fishing is still mostly on the troll. The Atlantic Princess has been a destination for tuna fishermen but it has not been consistent. 

Doormat fluke

Anglers netted more big fluke on ocean drifts as the recent flurry of doormats continues. The Big Mohawk party boat had a 13 pounder and a 12 pounder was brought in on the Ocean Explorer party boat, both out of Belmar. 

Dominick Altamura landed a 10.6-ounce fluke on the Jamaica II's morning trip on Wednesday. Capt. Ryan Bogan said that's their biggest fish for this August so far.

Suksan Kang from Bergen County caught the biggest fluke so far on the Atlantic Star party boat this season. The doormat weighed 12 ¼ pounds and was landed on the morning trip Saturday, Capt. Tom Buban said. 

Scott Roland, and his two sons Shane and Scotty, all of Wall, landed a fluke about a pound shy of a doormat while out on the Axel Carlson Reef. Roland said the fish put up a strong fight. The fluke weighed 9 pounds, 1 ounce.

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.
