Fishing Guide & Top Tips FISHING GUIDE & TOP TIPS African Angler, The Gambia West Africa Written by Mark Longster AFRICAN POMPANO Pompano Types: West African Pompano Gambian Names: Yow-al Scientific Names: Alectis Ciliaris General Catch Size: 2lb to 30lb Best Baits: Trolling small lures or bottom fished with cut fish baits, shrimp, live fry herrings & live mullet. Top Tips: West African Pompano are found mostly everywhere over rough ground & rocky outcrops to open flats & estuary creeks. Their favourite bait is 2 to 3 fresh shrimp fished on a light outfit (15lb main line – 30lb trace – 4/0 hook). Small fry herring fished live & hooked just in front of the eye socket is best when targeting the larger Pompano. They will hit at anytime during general sport fishing & are a tremendous scrapper combining long powerful runs with hard erratic short bursts close to the boat. A member of the Jack family, they are a noted light-tackle game fish & are a great sport. When: All year-round Recommended TACKLE Rod – 12lb to 20lb / 7ft to 9ft boat rod Reel – Fixed spool – small multiplyer - Ambassador 9000c Main Line - 15lb to 20lb braid or mono Line Trace – 20lb to 30lb mono – 2ft to 3ft Swivels – 40lb Hooks – 2/0, 3/0 Mustard O’shaunassy or light gauge live bait hook BARRACUDA Barracuda Types: Great Barracuda & Guinean Barracuda Scientific Names: Sphyraena / Sphyraena Afra General Catch Size: 5lb to 45lb Gambian Record : 75lbs with AfricanAngler Best Baits: Trolling lures or bottom fished with cut fish baits, live mullet & calamari. Top Tips: For best results when trolling from a boat use Rapala CD16 to CD18 Deep Diving lures (any colour) & fished 15ft to 30ft behind the boat at approx 4 to 6 knots – medium drag setting, enough to set the hook without striking. Use a rod holder or alternatively if holding the rod, keep the trace up for the best action and hold the rod tight. On all traces add 2ft to 3ft of 40lb wire trace before the hook or lure to prevent biting off! When: All year-round Recommended TACKLE Rod – 20lb to 30lb / 7ft to 9ft boat rod Reel – Ambassador 9000c / 10000c multiplyer – or large fixed spool Main Line - 40lb mono or 40lb Braid / 40lb wire and crimps Swivel – 100lb barrel & snap swivels Hooks – 5/0 Mustard O’shaunassy + 5/0 triple strength hooks for lures Lures – Rapala Xrap 30ft Storm Deep Thunder & Rapala CD18 & “Manns” Stretch 30/40/50+ Ray, Paul and the gang with their 75lb Barracuda BUTTERFISH Butterfish Types: Butterfish, Common Puffer Gambian Names: Con-car-ay Scientific Names: Ephippion guttifer General Catch Size: 2lb to 15lb Best Baits: Fresh Shrimp, Oyster, Clams, Crab, fished hard on the bottom best at anchor Top Tips: Butterfish are cru station and shellfish eaters and have the teeth to do the job! Their feeding habit is to hold themselves stationary, pivoting up and down, back and forth using their pectoral fins whilst their powerful jaws crush oysters, clams, crabsand shrimp. A long shank hook is best – 2/0 or 3/0. One tip when fishing your bait is to add 2” to 3” of braided line (50lb/80lb) or 30lb wire trace to stop them biting through. It also pays to use bait elastic to hold the soft shrimp. Often pieces of shrimp slide up the line resulting in a ‘bite off’ as the Butterfish homes in on the shrimp and bites through the line. You will need long- nose pliers as they are often hooked deep. When: All year round Recommended TACKLE Rod: 12lb to 15lb Spinning/Boat Rod Reel: Small multiplyer or Fixed Spool Trace Line: 30lb mono + 50lb braid or 30lb wire for hook length Main Line: 15lb to 30lb mono or braid Swivel: 30lb to 40lb Hook: Long Shank 1/0 2/0 3/0 with bait holder barbs CASSAVA Cassava Types: Cassava Croaker Gambian Names: Unguka Scientific Names: Pseudotolithus Senegalensis General Catch Size: 5lb to 40lb Best Baits: Live Baits – juvenile herring, mullet, and croakers are for best results: dead baits, fillet of bonga or herring, rack of shrimps tipped with bonga making a cocktail, also small baby calamari. Top Tips: Cassava are best fished over broken rocky ground especially if you can find a rocky edge onto open sandy ground. Often found in shoals they will constantly follow a featured edge and can be concentrated. It is possible to be just off the mark. Large shoals on the feed can be frenzied fishing. Live herring, mullet, croakers are best fished on a medium (15lb to 20lb) outfit with 20lb to 30lb main line. A running ledger set up with 60lb swivel and 40lb to 50lb leader 3ft long and quality 5/0 to 6/0 hook. Cassava will hit with a ‘bang, bang’ type bite as they disarm the live bait and then chomp down on it. You need to strike at a Cassava on the second or third ‘bang’. On smaller baits they can take the whole bait & hook; on larger baits they can ‘bang’ it and ‘leave’ it so strike at the bite. Hook the live bait under the dorsal fin on the back (without hitting its spine) as Cassava will often ‘bang on the bait’ in the middle first to disable it. When: All year-round Recommended TACKLE Rod – 20lb / 7ft boat rod Reel – Fixed spool or multiplyer Main Line – 20lb to 30lb mono or braid Trace Line - 40lb to 50lb mono (3ft) Swivels – 100lb Hooks – 5/0 to 6/0 strong Mustard O’Saunassy CAPTAIN FISH/THREADFIN SALMON Threadfin Salmon Types: Giant West African Threadfin Gambian Names: Kujeli or Shiney Nose Scientific Names: Polydactylus Quadrifilis General Catch Size: 5lb to 60lb Best Baits: Large fresh prawns and small live herrings are a favorite choice. Also used are other small livefish including mullet. Dead baits including bonga fillet, nine bone fillet, calamari, & prawns. Top Tips: Threadfin Salmon otherwise known as Captain Fish like strong moving spring tides, often fished just out from the rocky reefs in channels and around sandbars. Although a fast powerful fighter, they are a sensitive feeder. With a unique & transparent nose together with their threadfins these fish will often tap & mouth the bait before tackling it. A favorite bait is a ‘rack of prawns’ (4 to 6) threaded up the line or a small live herring will do the trick. Use a long (1 to 1.5 meter) light mono- trace (20lb or 30lb) with a 3/0 sharp hook. Fished on a running ledger with light lead just enough to hold the bottom. Allow a ‘tap, tap’ style bite to develop into a strong pull before striking. Raising the rod tip slightly when the bite is going on can often entice the fish to strike. When: All year-round with best months June, July, August & September Recommended TACKLE Rod – 12lb to 20lb / 9ft uptide boat rod Reel – Multiplyer or Fixed Spool Main Line – 25lb to 30lb mono or braid Trace Line - 25lb to 40lb mono Swivels – 30lb Hooks – 4/0 to 5/0 Live bait hook or Mustard O’Saunassy JACKS Jack Types: Trevally & Crevalle Gambian Names: Saka Scientific Names: Carnanx Senegallus/Carnanx Hippos General Catch Size: 10lb to 30lb Best Baits: Trolled lures (Rapala CD 16) colour - hot orange being a favourite or surface poppers. Float fished live mullet, drifting at anchor, dead baits; mullet, bonga fillet, prawns & calamari. Top Tips: Jacks hunt in shoals & when they come across a group of bait fish they force the bait to the surface & attack from below giving a boiling effect on the surface of the water. When this display is sighted from the boat or the shore, the fish are in a feeding frenzy & will take virtually any lure or bait that you can get in the vicinity. When trolling lures from the boat determine the direction of the shoal & run a course to run the lures across the front of the pack. Alternatively, set the boat uptide in line with the shoal & drift towards it without the engine running casting surface poppers into the frenzy with a fast retrieve. If sighted from the shore, again, cast into the shoal with a lure or heavy bait. When: All year-round – Best months Oct/Nov Recommended TACKLE Rod – 20lb to 30lb / 7ft to 9ft boat rod Reel – Multiplyer or Fixed Spool Trace Line: 50lb mono / 50lb wire trace for lures Main Line - 25lb – 40lb mono or braid Swivel – 30lb to 40lb Hooks – 3/0 Mustard O’Shaunassy or Owner size 7 catfish hook 5/0 triple strength treble for lures LADYFISH Ladyfish Types: Long-neck Croaker Gambian Names: Tunoon - (Tu-noon) Scientific Names: Pseudotolithus Typus General Catch Size: 5lb to 45lb Best Baits: Rack of shrimps or small live herrings are for best results. Dead-baits, a shrimp & tip of bonga fish cocktail works well or also live or dead ghost crabs. Top Tips: Ladyfish feed in small and large shoals. They like fast moving spring tides and will feed hard often for a short space of time. The first two hours at the beginning or end of a new tide are favourite. These fish feed on open muddy ground and sandbars just off the rocky reefs. Fished on a running ledger with a light trace (20-30lbs) 3 to 4ft long, they are a hard hitting fish and will bang into the bait and keep going providing the angler with excellent sport. In open water over a flat ground, Ladyfish can b e taken on the drift bouncing a live bait or shrimp and bonga strip cocktail along the bottom. When: All year-round Recommended TACKLE Rod – 12lb to 20lb / 7ft to 9ft uptider boat rod Reel – Multplyer or Fixed Spool Main Line - 25lb/30lb mono or Braid Hooks – 3/0 Mustard O’shaunassy or 5/0 Owner Catfish hook SHARK Shark Types: Requiem,Lemon, Sandbar, Sand Tiger, Blacktip etc Gambian Names: Gina-Gage Scientific Names: numerous General Catch Size: 50lb to 300lb Best Baits: Large live and dead fish baits, Bonga, Spanish Mackerel, Nine Bone, Mullet, Cuttlefish, Goats & small children!!!

  • Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean Volume
    ISBN 0-9689167-4-x Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean (Davis Strait, Southern Greenland and Flemish Cap to Cape Hatteras) Volume One Acipenseriformes through Syngnathiformes Michael P. Fahay ii Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean iii Dedication This monograph is dedicated to those highly skilled larval fish illustrators whose talents and efforts have greatly facilitated the study of fish ontogeny. The works of many of those fine illustrators grace these pages. iv Early Stages of Fishes in the Western North Atlantic Ocean v Preface The contents of this monograph are a revision and update of an earlier atlas describing the eggs and larvae of western Atlantic marine fishes occurring between the Scotian Shelf and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina (Fahay, 1983). The three-fold increase in the total num- ber of species covered in the current compilation is the result of both a larger study area and a recent increase in published ontogenetic studies of fishes by many authors and students of the morphology of early stages of marine fishes. It is a tribute to the efforts of those authors that the ontogeny of greater than 70% of species known from the western North Atlantic Ocean is now well described. Michael Fahay 241 Sabino Road West Bath, Maine 04530 U.S.A. vi Acknowledgements I greatly appreciate the help provided by a number of very knowledgeable friends and colleagues dur- ing the preparation of this monograph. Jon Hare undertook a painstakingly critical review of the entire monograph, corrected omissions, inconsistencies, and errors of fact, and made suggestions which markedly improved its organization and presentation.

The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

  • African Pompano Ceviche
    Florida Seafood at Your Fingertips: Live! Michael Sipos, Collier County Agent [email protected], 239-252-4825 Date of recording African Pompano Ceviche What you will need: 1-1½ lbs African pompano (most white flesh seafood could be used as a substitute) ¾-1 cup lime juice (approximately 6-8 limes) ¼ red onion ¼ sweet yellow onion ½-1 jalapeno pepper 1/3 cup cilantro 3 cloves of garlic 1 avocado ½ cucumber 1 tablespoon olive oil ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt A sprinkle of paprika Difficulty of recipe: Simple Total time to make: 30 minutes preparation, 45 minutes – 3 hours of “cook” time Disclaimer: This dish is “cooked” chemically through the denaturation of protein that occurs when seafood is exposed to the low pH conditions of lime juice. There are certain microbial and parasitic risks when consuming sashimi or ceviche. When consuming potentially raw seafood, the FDA recommends freezing the flesh at -4 F for 7 days prior to preparing to minimize the risk of consuming active parasites. Although these dishes are delicious, special consideration should be taken by at risk health groups if enjoying “raw” seafood. Recipe instructions: 1. Quarter the red and yellow onion and chop to a rough diced texture. 2. Chop cilantro to get approximately 1/3 cup volume with little to no compression. 3. Peel and mince 3 cloves of garlic. 4. Mince ½-1 whole jalapeno pepper depending on desired level of heat. Removing the seeds from the pepper can also greatly reduce the amount of spice tasted in the dish. 5. Halve 1 avocado, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into a cube like consistency.
