Salt Water Fish

Ok for you that doesn’t know or remember I’m from the coast. I live in Pascagoula Ms. I go out in the boat just about every day of my life. I don’t always fish when I go out in the boat. I sometimes go swimming at the sand bar. We go dove hunting also on some of the local islands. Some other things that we do when we go out include tubing, wake boarding, and skiing. We also just go out in the boat sometimes just to ride around. But we sometimes go out just too simply fish. You can go fishing in the fresh water river and catch anything from Large Mouth Bass to Brim. But that’s another story for another time. Today I will be talking about the salt water fish that live on the coast. First and foremost we have the shark family. We have the Bonnet head Shark, whose peak is in the summer, its head is spade shaped, and usually weighs about 10 pounds. We also have a more common bull shark. Next is the Black Tip shark who usually gets about 20 pounds. Next is the Atlantic sharp nose shark. Is usually only gets about 8 pounds. The next species is the sheeps head. It is black and gold and only about 2 pounds. We have a fish called a Wahoo. It gets about 30 pounds and looks like a dinosaur. We have more common fish like the black drum who is about 5 pounds and really dark. We have beautiful fish called red snapper; it’s my favorite to catch. It can get about 25 pounds. We have Spanish mackerel and King Mackerel. We have white trout and speckled trout. The trout are very common but they only get about 2-3 pounds. Now in my opinion the Cobia or the “ling” is definitely the most fun to catch. These beasts can get up to 80 pounds! They are the hardest to catch though. But if you know where the hot spots for ling are then it’s easy. Well there are 100’s more saltwater fish but these are just the basics. Peace.
