Aug 9, 2023; 11:24PM - Interesting fish hook find
|
Category: Fish Facts

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. |

The offshore action continues to improve but a strange cold inshore current really slowed down the inshore action. Offshore Angler , David Padget led the offshore parade with a 10 SAILFISH day on May 22nd followed by a 6 SAILFISH and 1 YELLOWFIN tuna day on the 23rd. Mr. Padget was fishing aboard the Vamonos 3. Wisconsin angler, Greg Schmidt fishing aboard the La Bamba landed 3 SAILFISH and 7 YELLOWFIN TUNA in one day. Mr. Gregg Grossman also fishing aboard the LA Bamba landed 1 SAILFISH, and raising 11 others, as well as landing 2 YELLOWFIN TUNA in one day of fishing. Notable European sportfishing writer from Holland, Jacques Schouten fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 1 landed 14 SAILFISH, 9 YELLOWFIN TUNA , one which scaled in over 300 Lbs, along with 35 YELLOWTAIL JACKS and 1 DORADO. Angler Mike Mccallister from the Cabela's Staff, fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 2 with Captain Jose Diaz landed 2 SAILFISH on his first day of fishing. First time anglers and visitors to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo from North Dakota, Dave and Anne Raatz fishing aboard the Secuestro De Amor landed their first SAILFISH along with a nice YELLOWFIN TUNA and a handful of Bonitos in a ½ day of fishing. French anglers Zoubowski and Cabaut while targeting the elusive ROOSTERFISH changed plans for a day and landed an estimated 220 lb YELLOWFIN TUNA and a few SAILFISH while the ROOSTERFISH went into hybernation for the week. Mr. Zoubowski and Mr Cabaut were fishing aboard the Janeth with Captain Arturo. The blue water and schools of tuna remain just 3 miles out but the real surprise this spring has been the inshore water temperature and the absence of any ROOSTERFISH.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Cooler than normal but seasonably beautiful!
Sea Conditions: Calm
Bait Supply: Excellent
Best Fishing Areas: 3 - 10 miles offshore
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
