Aug 9, 2023; 11:24PM - Interesting fish hook find

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Was shark meat a part of the cuisine in ancient Israel over 6,000 years ago? Archaeologists
have recently uncovered a significant clue suggesting so. In the archaeological site of
Ashkelon, one of the oldest copper fishhooks was found, shedding light on the past. This
fishhook, originating from an agricultural village during the Chalcolithic period, is believed
to have played a role in community-wide deep-sea fishing expeditions.
Ashkelon, a city layered with history, was constructed atop an ancient seaport bearing the same
name. Its roots extend as far back as ancient Egypt, with previous findings unearthing
structures from the Byzantine and Roman eras. The discovered hook measures approximately 6.5
centimeters in length and 4 centimeters in width. This size indicates its capacity to capture
marine creatures, including sharks measuring between 2 and 3 meters, or large fish like tuna—
both commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea.
Considering the insights marine biologists possess about the deep-sea ecosystems in this
region, it's plausible that sharks were a prime target for these fishing endeavors. |

This past week was up and down as far as the fishing goes. We mostly rig fished and had good results until Sunday. Sunday was very tough unless you like catching bull reds(which are hard to explain why you have to throw them back in federal waters), jack crevalle, and sharks. Plenty of snapper and grouper, a few cobia are showing up but not a whole lot. Yesterday we bluewater fished. The seas were flat calm and we were trying to make an early day of it. We were the first ones out to the tuna hole and managed to get one blackfin, two skipjack tuna, and 2 bull dolphin before calling it a day. The yellow fin tuna fishing has been tough the past few days but the backside of a full moon has been proving itself lately of not producing much of a tuna bite. Although I am not much of a follower of the moon because it is to inconsistent, lately the backside has been. But, the night tuna fishing has been very good. Most of the boats fishing at night have been producing fish. The rip lines are starting to form nicely again and it should be on the next couple of weeks. Today it looks like the weather has taken over offshore so I am glad to have a day off. Back at it tomorrow.
When your ready to fish offshore let us know.
