	Fishery Bulletin: Nursery habitats for ladyfish, Elops saurus, along salinity gradients in two Florida estuaries - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Ladyfish are probably considered to be estuarine-dependent because they spawn in offshore waters and metamorphosing larvae and juveniles are found inshore (Hildebrand, 1943; Gehringer, 1959; Eldred and Lyons, 1966).
		Moreover, large ladyfish are present throughout the year in polyhaline and marine ([is greater than] 18 ppt) waters such as Florida Bay, Biscayne Bay, and the Indian River Lagoon (Low, 1973; Sogard et al., 1989a, 1989b; Tremain and Adams, 1995).
		Furthermore, if age-0 ladyfish select low-salinity habitats, then we predicted that they would be more abundant in the lower salinity areas of Tampa Bay because this bay has a wider salinity range to select than that for the Indian River Lagoon.

		A ladyfish, which struck a jig, is easy to identify by its silver sides and large eyes and its big jumps when hooked.

		Most are caught on cut strips, small live fish or live shrimp by anglers fishing for something else, particularly for Trout on the flats, but Ladyfish are ready strikers on most artificial lures of appropriate size.

	In these customer testimonials, happy BarHopp'R customers tell you exactly what they though about their fishing ...
		My count was about 40 Ladyfish to the boat, of which we kept a dozen or so for bait for the rest of the day.
		Using Ladyfish fillets for bait, we boated nearly 20 Redfish (actually, I think it was 18), some of which were real hogs.
		The Ladyfish were so thick that as I tried to retrieve one flopping around the deck, my jig would occasionally dip back into the water (note my well-learned lesson on never putting the rod/reel on the deck, but keeping it tucked under my armpit!!), only to be slammed by another Ladyfish right at the boat.

	Ladyfish in Jacksonville Florida
		For those of you that have never caught ladyfish, you cannot imagine the fun involved when you happen on a giant school of them.
		The strike is pounding and with great intent, the runs are strong and long and best of all, they jump out of the water and tail walk several times before you either get them to the boat or they throw that hook.
		With the 50 pound test mono leader, we did not have to retie or did we loose the first spoon and as most of you know, when you are in a school of ladyfish, it is common to loose a few rigs, due to their very abrasive lower jaw bone.

		Ladyfish, Elops saurus, are recognized as an estuarine-dependent species, but no published study has described how ladyfish use estuarine habitats.
		In both estuaries, age-0 ladyfish entered as metamorphosing larvae and became concentrated in waters of lower than median salinity (23-25 ppt).
		In Tampa Bay, which had a greater range of salinity than Indian River Lagoon did, age-0 ladyfish were found principally in mesohaline and oligohaline areas; in Indian River Lagoon, age-0 ladyfish were found in mesohaline and polyhaline waters.
