Species Overview
Atlantic Sailfish
The sailfish is the fastest fish in the ocean, reaching speeds up to 110 km/h. Its enormous dorsal fin, or 'sail,' can be raised to herd baitfish. When hooked, it performs spectacular tail-walking displays across the water surface.
Felsenbarsch
The striped bass is an anadromous species native to the Atlantic coast of North America. It migrates seasonally along the coast and up rivers to spawn, providing exceptional fishing from surf, boat, and shore.
