Weekly fishing report: All and all the fishing remains good in the ... - The Bemidji Pioneer

Fishing in the Bemidji area hasn't changed a whole lot this past week but that's kinda typical for this time of the year.

Live bait rigs and leeches, slip bobbers, jigging raps, and jig and minnow are producing some walleyes on Lake Bemidji, Turtle, and Andrusia. Most fish are coming off the breaks in 12-18'. Some wind and clouds seems to get the fish going a bit better.

Bass fishing remains excellent using plastics, topwater baits and spinnerbaits. You'll find those fish up shallow especially early in the day and along the deep weed edges.

Crappies and bluegills are still being found off the deeper cabbage using small jigs and plastics or jigs tipped with a leech or a piece of crawler. All and all the fishing remains good here in the Bemidji area.

Cass Lake Area: Troll crankbaits in 6 to 8 feet at night for walleyes on Cass Lake and Pike Bay Lake. During the day, a Lindy Rig and leech are producing a few walleyes off the main lake structure on Cass in 18 to 22 feet. Perch action remains strong in 6 feet, in or around the bulrushes, on Lake Andrusia and Allen's Bay on Cass. Bluegill action has picked up on Kitchi Lake in less than 7 feet, and largemouth bass are hitting throughout the Cass chain. A few muskies are being caught in the weeds throughout Allen's Bay on Cass, but most have been small.

Lake Winnibigoshish: The main-lake bars and humps continue to be the best walleye options during the day with crawlers in 22 to 25 feet. Some fish are being caught deeper as well. The shoreline breaks continue to give up walleyes during low-light periods on crankbaits in 12 to 15 feet. Working the weed flats in 8 to 14 feet for pike, while consistently finding numbers of keeping-sized perch remains difficult.

Red Lake: Fishing pressure has been light, mainly due to strong winds during the past week that have limited fishing opportunities. On the days anglers can get out, walleyes are being caught with a jig and minnow, crankbaits or spinners and crawlers in 5 to 8 feet. Cover water from the Kansas City area to just south of Sunny Beach.

Please remember to practice selective harvesting, by doing so we will continue to have great fishing for years to come.

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.
