Yup, its a parasite cycle thing thats why you mainly see it occurring at certain times of the year. once they get infected , the parasite/ roundworm gets it metacercarial cysts into the flesh that eventually infect other organisms that eat it or hatch into adults and exit the fish. A lot of fish are affected by parasites but we mainly see it active in mullet and jacks..one reason i cut off sushi ..after i did animal diversity with flukes and trematodes..you learn that even unwashed lettuce has eggs waiting to hatch in you.

[ryan99tt]

meccalli, always knew mullet had but didnt really know about d jacks...u know wat period in the year dey does have the parasite?

Trini_Reddz, yuh hav ah price dey does charge? wat dey does do trolling or bankin?

[meccalli]

ryan , i'm not sure when teh adults are present and you actually see the worms in teh flesh, my dad said he's seen them around this time early in the year but the fact remains the eggs or other stage can be present in the fish so just remember to cook well- i love mullet as much as a tarpon does lol.

[ryan99tt]

nah, i never eat mullet and i will never eat it...i jus doh like it...lol

Suppose to be mostly in dry season the fishes has worms, also guabine (fresh water) has it. Some u can see,,some u cant,so cook it good

Trolling and banking. PADI certification and dive trips too. Price I guess will depend on what you want to do and for how long.

[07baracuda]

Thanks for info fellas,
But i just want to share something with you all concerning the worm thing,this happend to me twice the first time i took a bite of curried cavali the tail piece and i felt something stuck between my front teeth so i took it out only to realize it was a worm the thing was about the size of maybe a 10lb line red like those ground worms and about 6-7",stopped eating that fish for years but the same thing again last week.cut ah piece of the flesh of the tail only to see this thing in my plate ah throw away all i don`t think i will ever eat that fish again.

[Sabot]

A lot of fish have parasites at various times of the year including the popular species such as kingfish and carite. Worms are sometimes found in the intestines or in the flesh if observed carefully. Some have these in the head of the fish as well.
I have caught numerous cavali with parasites in their throat as seen in the pic...

[meccalli]

Yeah baracuda, liek i said.. pretty much all fish have em just like almost all organisms have em lol..including us. Thats fairly common finding them in the tail, it happens alot in larger crevalle. You generally find them where access to the blood is easy such as gills or along the artery in teh tail.
Kwl pic sabot That is an excellent picture of Cymothoa exigua - its liek a louse that attaches to the fish's tongue and atrophies it causing it to fall off LOL..guess what? the fish actually uses the parasite as it would its normal tongue..fun huh
crevalle isn't good eating anyway..trash fish if you ask me. Hella fun to catch tho.

[pugboy]

mullet famous for worms, right behind the head

[07baracuda]

Sabot,
That look`s disgusting i don`t think i will be eating fish for ah long time.

[Sabot]

Sabot,

I don't eat cavali for that reason . Excellent for sport though.

[DrunkenMaster16]

ditto.. i stay away from cavali...

[Sabot]

Anyone went out on the gulf today? Want to head out tomorrow but the ppl who are going with me cant take rough water and I find the wind is a little high today How was the water in the gulf today if anyone knows?

[Rallyfignis]

i know the $500US a half-day charter, well one just like that anyway, imo, just too expensive...


i can'y justify $3K for a half day fishing trip...i rather buy a new trolling rod and have something tangible.....unless there's a 100% guarantee the money won't be wasted and i'll have a boat full of wahoo

Understood, but I talking about a 42' catamaran, you moving with a squad of 10 easy easy, so really just $300 a man, IMO not bad at all.

Ryan, I know I sticking, but I lose the man # - looks like yuh got through with someone though - if you want the # still, pm me

[Smeed]

hey dudes.......anyone for la fouray tomorrow??

was in tobago last weekend....had some decent enough action rite from the jetty at the hotel. caught some wrasse, 2 cavali, hooked 1 small tarpon but didn't land it, some ancho and eels and a couple snapper-looking fish. we stayed at sandy point and i fished a coupla mornings form 5:30 till bout 8 am.

generated the most action with de kastmasters....managed to lose 3!! cut ballyhoo and flying fish also got good play. took both cavali on gulp softbaits though.

alos saw lotsa bait balled upand blitzing off fort milford and at the end of the runway, but i didn't have company....so i played it safe and stuck wid de family

wha is de plan for tomorrow??

i gotta restock on some tackle too. lost a lot of line on 3 of meh reels....had to cut when dey stick....de spools looking real skinny now!!

[meccalli]

Smeed , split rings are your friends, i implement them for that reason, if im using 50 lb line i'll probably attach 30lb rings specially for lures. That way i dont have to lose line or LURE! The ring pulls apart and i'm left with my money (x rap lol)
I would reall liek to go la fouray..... but i'll have to organise wit one of allyuh fellas to pick me up a day lol since i don't even drive yet.

[ryan99tt]
