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. |

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 21 MARCH, 2004
Straight from Las Vegas, “The Man” in the Jewelry business there, Malachi, his wife,
another couple and a friend were our anglers today. It did not take long for Juan and
Philipe to get out to the fishing area as the wind did not start to blow until this
afternoon. Only 10 miles out and they were seeing Marlin everywhere. The first fish
was Malachi’s and it was a Striped Marlin of about #120 that came in on a petrelero
straight runner then ate a bit dropped back into the pattern. It took Malachi around 35
minutes to land the fish, which was bleeding from the gills pretty good. The next bit of
action was from a Dorado that ate a lure and that fish went into the box for dinner.
Later in the day, around 10 am, the next fish was hooked. It was another Striped
Marlin, and this fish was a bit bigger than the first fish. This fish also took a lot longer
to land! After a fight of 55 minutes the fish was brought along the side of the boat and
was measured for a possible mount. From the tip of the bill to the end of the tail in a
straight line it was 117 inches. The estimated #120 that was caught first was only 95
inches. A nice fish, and a good day on the water.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 22 MARCH, 2004
Dr. Jay Jones is back in Cabo after a five year absence and he will be fishing with us
today and on Wednesday. As has always been the case, the target is Marlin and we
have our fingers crossed after the luck that happened yesterday. The wind was still
blowing this morning and they had to go a little farther offshore today, but they did get
into the Marlin. Unfortunately, they only got one fish to hook up good enough to fight,
and then that one came back down on the line and broke off. Juan said that it looked
like the fish took the bait while coming in on it’s side, then took off jumping the same
way. They saw over twenty Marlin today so hopefully the bite will be better on
Wednesday!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 23 MARCH, 2004
The wind never stopped blowing last night, and was still going strong this morning.
The Craig Webster party were on the “Fly Hooker” and while a Marlin would have been
nice, any fish at all was welcome. Unfortunately it looked as if the heavy winds blew in
the cold water and while Juan and Manuel went over 30 miles to the east, they never
were able to get into any fish. I’m sorry about that guys, but we can’t control the
weather or the currents.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 24 MARCH, 2004
Dr. Jay Jones was a little excited this morning and let us know right away that he
wanted tomorrow on the boat as well. His wife was having a fine time with the kids and
without him there, and he had gotten “permission” for another day on the water! The
wind was still howling this morning as the boat took off, and Juan and Manuel decided
that there was a better chance of getting a Marlin on the inside, close to shore on the
Sea of Cortez. A few boats yesterday had found a fish or two in there and the water
was a lot better as well. No Marlin for the day though. They did get two Dorado, one of
them about 15 pounds hit on a lure and after a live bait was dropped back behind it the
larger, #45 fish hit. Not Marlin, but a nice fight anyway. Now our fingers and toes are
crossed for Dr. Jones! Tomorrow could be the day!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 25 MARCH, 2004
This is the last day of fishing for Dr. Jones, and it is Manuel and Phillipe on the boat.
The wind died down last night, the skies cleared yesterday afternoon and I was able to
get a clear sea surface read out for the guys to use. I saw a break out 32 miles to the
east southeast and that is right where Manuel went. They managed to hook one Marlin
that came off and sighted three others out there, but could not get them to bite. Dr.
Jones was able to get two more Dorado though, both of them in the #35-#40 class.
The water was green and cold until they got to this area so they stayed and fished
there until it was time to run in, but there was no more action to be had. I hope that next
time Dr. Jones comes the fishing is better and closer to home!
“FLY HOOKER” FISHING REPORT FOR 26 MARCH, 2004
Our friend Tim McGee is back in town and brought his brother and friends with him.
Tim brought Tim Dungan, Julie Slinger and Gary Huckaby with him today, and he really
wants to get into some eating fish. Just in case they get a chance, he brought along a
pair of #20 outfits. Well, they guys took the boat out to the area where they had been
finding the Dorado and some of the small Tuna’s, but there was not a lot happening.
They did get one Striped Marlin hooked up, and Tim was able to bring it to the boat for
a tag and release. Everyone caught at least one fish today as there was also some
Tuna out there, but they were not biting all that well. A couple of fish in the #8 range
and one Bonita were all that happened for the day. At least the wind had died down
and the water was nice. Well, Julie did not think so as it was a bit rough for her, but the
chumming was appreciated by everyone else! Thanks Tim, perhaps later in the week
you will do better! Until next week, Tight Lines!
