Overfishing

When I hear fishing all I can think of is the thrill and the fun at sea trying to catch a good fish. And I am sure that most of you can relate to that picture. The thing that we do not realize is that the oceans on earth are getting depleted of these wonderful creatures.

Overfishing has risen to such an extent that many of the fish species have either become extinct or are at the verge of extinction. Since many of us are not fully aware of what overfishing is, what are the reasons that lead to overfishing and its impacts on the ecosystem; we are going to tell you what exactly is happening around the world.

Every fisherman checks Windfinder before going in a fishing trip. We use it here at Fishfishme.com all the time. We wanted to know more about the company and the app and how everything started. So we got in touch with Windfinder team and we were lucky enough to reach one of the co-founders Oliver Konig. Oliver was kind enough to do an interview with us and answers some of our questions and we are excited to share it with you.

Fishing in Fujairah_header

Fujairah is one of the best fishing spots in UAE. Fujairah faces the gulf of Oman, which is open to the Indian Ocean.

 The species you’ll find in Fujairah are completely different from the ones you find in Dubai. In Fujairah you’ll find the big fish that anglers love such as Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Amberjack and Marlin. Imagine, you can get your hands on all of these strong fish an hour and half from Dubai!

Fishfishme Expands to the US

New Orleans, LA, June 2, 2014:  Fishfishme, Inc., today announces that it will now call New Orleans, Louisiana home as it enters the US market.  Founded in 2012, Fishfishme aims to make the charter fishing industry more accessible than ever before and allows consumers to find and book charter fishing trips around the world using its online platform at Fishfishme.com.

Fishfishme currently offers its services in over twenty countries around the world and will now operate out of regional offices in New Orleans, Louisiana, Malaga, Spain and Dubai, UAE.  As the company sought to establish a U.S. base of operations and provide exposure for a historically underexposed industry, Louisiana and New Orleans quickly proved to be idyllic locations.  The state is home to some of the most plentiful fisheries in the nation and offers a robust lineup of professional and experienced charter captains.  The city of New Orleans was able to provide the business services and infrastructure required of a young, international company and place Fishfishme within a growing city center and relatively stable economy.

The company has procured space at Launch Pad, a collaborative workspace catering to developing and dynamic organizations, within the New Orleans Central Business District (CBD.)   The company was recently funded by angel investors and selected to attend the Blackbox Connect seminar, which was sponsored by Google for Entrepreneurs and held in Palo Alto, California this March.

Let’s talk about Marlin. This is one fish that has left me stunned like thousands of other sport fishermen around the world. It is one of the most magnificent Big Game fish and one with the most grandeur. The firm and strong body, the powerful bill and that dictatorial attitude all make these fish the definitive celebrity of the sportfishing realm.
