The number of sailfish surrounding a small school of baitfish can vary widely based on factors such as location, time of year, and the abundance of prey. Typically, a group of 2 to 10 sailfish might be observed hunting together, but larger aggregations can occur during peak feeding times. Sailfish are known for their hunting strategies, often using teamwork to corral and capture schools of baitfish.

Are the swordfish and sailfish the same?

No they are not. Sailfish are small and light, have no 'sword' on their nose and are known for their capacity to jump out of the ocean and then sail through the air over a considerable distance. Swordfish may weigh more than 1,000 pounds and although they sometimes jump above the ocean surface, their weight prevents them from doing any sailing.


How do you fly fish for saltwater fish?

Saltwater flyfishing is done with heavier tackle and typically uses wet flies resembling baitfish. However, saltwater fish can also be caught with "poppers," a surface lure similar to those used for freshwater bass fishing, though much larger. Saltwater species sought and caught with fly tackle include: bonefish, tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), sailfish, tarpon, striped bass, salmon and marlin. Offshore saltwater species are usually attracted to the fly by "chumming" with small baitfish, or "teasing" the fish to the boat by trolling a large hookless lure. Many saltwater species, particularly large, fast and powerful fish, are not easily slowed down by "palming" the hand on the reel. Instead, a purpose-made saltwater reel for these species must have a powerful drag system.

What do sailfish eat?

Sailfish or billfish (Istiophorus) eat sardines, flying fish, and squid, preferring fish that swim near the ocean's surface. Divers have reported seeing several sailfish work together to corral their prey, using their high fins to create a wall that keeps the smaller fish from escaping. They've also been observed using their long, sharp bills to stun and skewer their prey. Scientists have also photographed them hunting in groups, flashing brilliant colors on their bodies when excited by their predatory behavior during feeding.Sailfish will also eat shrimp when other prey are unavailable.(see related link)
