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 JULY 21, 2004
The Hasko group is fishing with us today and they will be fishing again on the 23. Marlin is the target for both days, but of course no fish will be refused! Juan and Manuel went offshore today, straying as far out as 18 miles in search of fish willing to bite. Slightly choppy conditions and some nice swells, combined with a fairly good overcast slowed down the ability to sight Marlin tailing on the surface, and the water was just a bit cooler out there as well. The only action of the day was sighting one fish tailing and that one refused to eat. We sure hope things are better on Friday!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 22, 2004
Mark Bailey and his wife Sue are our anglers for the day and Mark sure would like to tangle with a Marlin! They were supposed to fish on another boat today, but the Captain was a no-show and they went with us instead. It was Juan’s day off so Manuel had to get a replacement marinero and came up with Estephan (“Tebby”). Mark was impressed with him and so was Manuel. With those recommendations we were able to hook him up with a full-time job on a friend’s boat. Back to the Bailey’s trip though, Manuel and Tebby went north on the Sea of Cortez and worked the area off of Palmilla. Not getting out until 7:30 was odd, but things worked out all right. There were plenty of Dorado in the area and Mark got two fish in the 20-25 pound class in the boat, had two more around 12-15 pounds and then several “peanuts” of about 6-8 pounds. One small Yellowfin Tuna chewed on a lure and managed to get himself hooked and then Manuel saw a Hammerhead shark. The guys asked Mark if he wanted to try and catch it so he gave it a shot. Not very impressed with the fight of a Hammerhead, Mark said “It was like fighting a bucket”. Maybe if it had been a Mako things would have been different! Anyway, they go the Shark to the side of the boat for a couple of pictures then released it. Mark said they had seen one Marlin all day and it would not eat, but he and Sue had fun. Thanks guys, we are glad things worked out for you!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 23 JULY, 2004
This was the Hasko groups second day of fishing and now the pressure was on. All four guys wanted a shot at a Marlin but the bite had been off. This was surprising because on Sunday it had been going off strong! Juan and Manuel talked to a few of the other Captains on the radio and headed offshore again, this time 25 miles to the east, out around the 1150 spot. Juan said there was a lot of Marlin in the area and they had two on at one time, both hooked on live bait. One of the fish was fought to the boat for a successful tag and release. Unfortunately the dog gear on the other TLD 25 stripped and they were not able to get any line on the reel. Juan had to try and hand line the fish and the line ended up breaking. There were other fish in the area but they would not eat. They guys were also able to get one nice Dorado that Juan said would have been around 25 pounds, and lost one other “Big” one that hit a large Marlin lure but did not hook up well. At least the guys were able to get some action on the Billfish today, much better than on Wednesday. And now there is a new TLD 25 on the boat. Until next week, tight lines!
