“We have been working at the national level, trying to push national government to give attention to ornamental fish in Indonesia, but it’s fallen on deaf ears,” she said. Part of the problem is geography, Reksodihardjo-Lilley explains. In the vast archipelago of Indonesia, there are about 34,000 miles of coastline across some 17,500 islands. That makes monitoring the first step of the tropical fish supply chain a task so gargantuan it is all but ignored. If that weren’t already hard enough to swallow, jumping worms dine on humus, the rich, organic top layer of soil formed by dead and decaying small animals, insects, and leaf litter. Humus is essential to the survival of plants, fungi, and other soil life.
Found a few bass on hair jigs & crankbaits but nothing of size. Capt. Dan Leslie at the Salmon Stop in Waukegan said shore fishing has Chinook “in thick and you can see them” and a couple steelhead; spawn, skein and “big baits that will piss them off” are best. Both species of snakeheads have existed in this country for over 20 years now.
Not so good: Tougher Times for the surf and St. Johns
Anglers in dated garb from the 1970s and 80s display huge striped bass and halibut and plenty of giant sturgeon. Fraser as a young man appears in several of the photos, usually a modest bystander in others’ moments of triumph. Recreational fishing in the Bay Area seems about as popular as it’s ever been. Many fishing grounds we once enjoyed alone are now overrun by weekend crowds and fleets of skiffs. Traffic jams clog boat ramps, and pier anglers must jockey for elbow room when the herring, halibut and sturgeon are running.
I was lucky enough to grow up near a few streams with strong rock bass populations, but not stronger than the multitude of sunfish species, which made rock bass a “special” catch. Nowadays, my 4-year-old son lights up on these same waters when we see that gold flash. On big bodies of water, anglers are typically using rods built to handle 6-pound smallies or 20-plus-inch trout. While rock bass might hit like freight trains, heavier gear easily overpowers them, minimizing their fighting ability. If, on the other hand, you scale down to a micro-light rod and reel spooled with 2- to 4-pound test, they’re a riot, especially if you’re fishing with kids. Trenorol works by retaining added levels of nitrogen in the muscle tissues.
The food bite stops about 9 am and the rest of the days is a struggle as the lakers are in spawn pattern where they feed early the worry about other things the rest of the day. Jimmy Fly Mo rigs on the Blue/green, Green/silver and Green/orange were best behind chrome or smoke Luhr-Jensen Dodgers. Here, the sediment smothered rocky reefs and made fishing for sight-based species, like striped bass and halibut, all but impossible at times, and Fraser’s ragtag bait shop ensemble aimed to stop the dumping. They rallied up more than 150 boat operators, as he recalls it, and created a noisy circus of boats that prevented a scheduled dump. Some species, like sharks, are well known for their ability to “smell” blood in the water from great distances.
