Deep Sea Fish Facts

   

Deep Sea Fishing at the Sea of Cortez

Come aboard a charter yacht and cruise for a wonderful fishing trip. On this magnificent cruise you will set the fishing lines for trolling in open sea. Fishing species include marlin, sailfish, snook and red snapper. Marlin fishing is done in the Gulf of California, with boats departing from Topolobampo Bay, and includes outfitted sport yachts with a professional crew. Snook and red snapper are caught around the inlets of the bay formed at the mouth of the El Fuerte River and the Gulf of California.

Marlin -The blue marlin ranges worldwide in cool to warm, temperate and tropical waters preferring temperatures of 68-88� F.  Sportfishermen worldwide spend thousands of dollars and many years in pursuit of sportfishing's most glamorous trophy.  Every angler's first encounter with a blue marlin is an unforgettable experience.  Whether the strike ends in a hook-up or a miss, the vivid electric blue of an excited marlin will be indelibly etched in the angler's mind forever.  Any size blue marlin is a trophy, even though large females can reach 2,000 lbs.  A surface water temperature gauge is a vital piece of equipment when fishing for a blue marlin.  Once  a positive hook-up is made, efficient crew team-work is essential to land the fish.  Although delicious, the blue marlin is fabulous sportfish that is best released.

Sail fish - When the winter cold fronts move into southeast Florida, the wind howls from the northeast and the edge of the northern flowing gulfstream turn feather-white, it's sailfish time!  During this time the pods of baitfish are blown in closer to shore, huddled in paralyzed masses in fear of the feeding "spindle beak".  Sailfish can achieve sizzling speeds with up to 50 knots being quoted, but tire quickly and are generally considered a great light tackle species.  The sailfish is famous for spectacular aerial acrobatic displays.

Dorado - Mahimahi and dorado are common names for the brilliantly colored dolphin that is never disappointing and always fun.  Vivid blues and greens shot with flashes of iridescent gold, a rainbow of colors displayed on the sides of an excited school of dolphin greyhounding across the wake to attack trolled surface baits can cause an over zealous angler to grab the rod before the fish ever strikes.  Dolphin are most often the offshore beginner's first sportfishing experience and are fun for the whole family.  Fishermen rarely tire of catching dolphin because of it's reputation as a tough, furious fighting aerialist when hooked.  The dolphin is an excellent table fish.

Wahoo - The WAHOO!! "The speedster of the Sea", has the reputation of being a loner and is rarely found in schools.  Its range is worldwide in tropical, warm temperate waters where it prefers temperatures of 70-86� F.  Capable of speeds approaching 50 MPH, the wahoo, once hooked can thrill any angler with runs of blistering speeds and high leaps with an almost splashless re-entry.  Ernest Hemingway preferred the wahoo to all marine game fishes for its flavor , but like all sportfish, the wahoo is best released.

Bonito - The Atlantic Bonito (Sarda sarda) is the species of this group most common to Alabama. Just like the mackerels, they are fast swimming predators that feed on squid and small fish. The bonito is dark blue above, shading to silvery below. A distinguishing characteristic is the dark stripes running obliquely from the lateral line to it's back.  Bonito are a schooling fish, and are known for going on incredible feeding frenzies, biting everything thrown at them, including bare hooks. Bonito are not a particularly popular food fish, but they are good fighters. They do however, make excellent bait for other gamefish.

Yellow Tail - The Yellowtail is characterized by its long aerodynamic body with a long pointed, "smooth"-looking snout, a mouth ending at the front edge of the eye pupil, blue upper back, silver-white sides and belly, yellow fins, and distinguishing narrow bronze stripe along the middle of the body that becomes yellow posteriorly. The Yellowtail is pelagic and found in all Mexican waters including the Pacific side of the Baja California peninsula, the Gulf of California, and along mainland Mexico through to Guatemala. It is usually found in the first 250 feet of the water column. It is reported to reach a length of 8 feet and up to 110 pounds in the southern hemisphere, although a 50 pounder is very rare in Mexican waters. The Yellowtail is a prime targeted game fish.
