Captiva Fishing Guide Report: April 3, 2021: Hammerhead Sharks, Catch & Release<\/strong>, Captain Joe\u2019s Charters \u2013 cold but no significant Red Tide presence, and a lot of good fish in the gulf, bay, and passes; Sharks, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Snook, and Seatrout are currently present.<\/p>\n

Redfish & snook are regulated as catch & release at this time.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Already seeing some positive impact.\u00a0 Some very nice big redfish and big snook around. Trout are also coming back.<\/p>\n

The Caloosahatchee freshwater releases are also not an issue right now, but still a huge long-term problem.<\/p>\n

Extremely frustrating.\u00a0 We need wholesale changes in the Florida state government.\u00a0 It is not a Republican or Democrat issue \u2013 it is a Big Sugar control everyone issue.<\/p>\n

It is stunning how we continue to let the sugar industry and the agriculture north of Lake Okeechobee to damage the water and all of Florida. We\u2019re located in Castaways Marina, Santiva, Sanibel Island, just before the Blind Pass bridge to Captiva Island.<\/p>\n

Hammerhead Sharks, including Great Hammerhead Sharks, are often found following and feeding on tarpon, during the summer, particularly in Boca Grande Pass.<\/p>\n

“The hammerhead sharks<\/b> are a group of sharks<\/a> in the family Sphyrnidae<\/b>, so named for the unusual and distinctive structure of their heads, which are flattened and laterally extended into a “hammer” shape called a cephalofoil.<\/p>\n

Most hammerhead species are placed in the genus Sphyrna<\/b><\/i> while the winghead shark<\/a> is placed in its own genus, Eusphyra<\/b><\/i>. Many not necessarily mutually exclusive functions have been proposed for the cephalofoil, including sensory reception, maneuvering, and prey manipulation.<\/p>\n

The theory has been advanced that the hammer-like shape of the head may have evolved (at least in part) to enhance the animal’s vision.[8]<\/a><\/sup> The positioning of the eyes, mounted on the sides of the shark’s distinctive hammer head, gives the shark good 360-degree vision in the vertical plane, meaning they can see above and below them at all times.[9]<\/a><\/sup>[10]<\/a><\/sup> The shape of the head was previously thought to help the shark find food, aiding in close-quarters maneuverability and allowing sharp turning movement without losing stability.<\/p>\n

Hammerheads are found worldwide in warmer waters along coastlines and continental shelves<\/a>. Unlike most sharks, hammerheads usually swim in schools during the day, becoming solitary hunters at night. Some of these schools can be found near Malpelo Island<\/a> in Colombia<\/a>, Cocos Island<\/a> off Costa Rica<\/a>, and near Molokai<\/a> in Hawaii<\/a>. Large schools are also seen in the waters off southern and eastern Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n
