\u201cThe\u00a0Elopidae<\/b>\u00a0are a\u00a0family<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0ray-finned fish<\/a>\u00a0containing the single genus\u00a0Elops<\/b><\/i>. They are commonly known as ladyfish<\/strong>, skipjacks, jack-rashes, or tenpounders.<\/p>\n

The ladyfish are a coastal-dwelling fish found throughout the tropical and subtropical regions, occasionally venturing into temperate waters.[3]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Spawning<\/a>\u00a0takes place at sea, and the\u00a0fish larvae<\/a>\u00a0migrate inland entering brackish waters. Their food is smaller fish and\u00a0crustaceans<\/a>\u00a0(shrimp<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Ladyfish & Redfish, Hank really wanted to lick that fish, Sanibel Fishing & Captiva Fishing, Wednesday, November 9, 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Typically throughout the species, the maximum size is 1\u00a0m (3.3\u00a0ft) and the maximum weight 10\u00a0kg (22\u00a0lb). The body is fusiform (tapering spindle shape) and oval in cross-section; being slightly laterally compressed, and the eyes are large and partially covered with\u00a0adipose eyelids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like those of\u00a0eels<\/a>, the larvae are\u00a0leptocephalic<\/a>\u00a0– being highly compressed, ribbon-like, and transparent. After initial growth, they shrink and then metamorphose into the adult form.<\/p>\n

This family is fished, but the body is bony and therefore this fish is not marketed widely for consumption. They are caught and used as bait or may be ground down for fish meal.<\/p>\n

The name comes from the\u00a0Greek<\/a>\u00a0ellops<\/i>\u00a0– a kind of serpent.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>Please see more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The “poor man’s tarpon,” the ladyfish is a great all-around sport fish for all anglers. Whether you’re an avid fly fisherman or a die-hard live bait angler (live ladyfish make excellent baits for other fish), there is a lot of fun to be had catching Ladyfish. Even at small sizes, juvenile ladyfish pack a punch, and full of energy, while the larger adults can be a good five pounds or more and of course, just as energetic.<\/p>\n

[File Photo – March 24, 2012].<\/figcaption><\/figure>Throughout most of the year, ladyfish inhabit brackish environments with slow-moving water, such as mangrove and salt marsh channels. Here, their favorite food item is fish, such as anchovies, mullet, sardines, menhaden, but will also consume shrimp and other crustaceans when available. Stomach content studies often reveal over 90% of their diet being fish-based. If the fall, adult ladyfish form large aggregations offshore for spawning, where they are often found just off the beaches.\u00a0Please see more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n

After a fierce storm, Turner Beach, the beach adjoining the Pass, is frequently covered with a bounty of shells from Olives to Fighting Whelks to the more common Conchs. The fishing is also renowned with sharks in the summer, tailing redfish on the bayside flats and snook under and off the Blind Pass bridge. Because Turner Beach faces Westward, the sunsets are spectacular and a popular viewing point for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n
