Forceps Butterflyfish
Forcipiger flavissimus
Forceps Butterflyfish is a bright yellow reef butterflyfish with a long, narrow snout used to pick prey from coral crevices. It lives on coral-rich reef slopes and lagoons across the Indo-Pacific, and is not a common target for anglers.
Four-eyed Butterflyfish
Chaetodon capistratus
The Four-eyed Butterflyfish is a small tropical reef fish with a false eye spot near the tail and a dark eye stripe that helps confuse predators. It is common on shallow Caribbean and western Atlantic reefs and feeds mainly on small benthic invertebrates and coral-associated prey.
Fourspot Butterflyfish
Chaetodon quadrimaculatus
The Fourspot Butterflyfish is a reef-dwelling Indo-Pacific butterflyfish best known for the four dark spots on its body. It usually feeds on coral polyps and small benthic invertebrates, and it is more of an aquarium/reef species than a sporting fish.
Foxface
Siganus vulpinus
Foxface is a venomous rabbitfish from tropical Indo-Pacific reefs, prized in aquariums more than by anglers. It grazes on algae in pairs or small groups and uses a bold yellow body with a dark facial mask for warning camouflage.
Freckled Goatfish
Upeneus tragula
Freckled Goatfish (Upeneus tragula) is a small tropical goatfish of shallow coastal waters, especially sandy bottoms near reefs, lagoons, and estuaries. It forages with chin barbels for worms, crustaceans, and small mollusks.
Freckled Hawkfish
Paracirrhites forsteri
Freckled Hawkfish (Paracirrhites forsteri) is a reef-dwelling perchlet that perches on coral and rock to ambush small fishes and crustaceans. It is not a common food fish or target angling species, and reliable catch-oriented information is limited.
French Angelfish
Pomacanthus paru
French angelfish is a large, reef-dwelling marine angelfish of the western Atlantic and Caribbean. Adults are usually seen in pairs or small groups picking at sponges, tunicates, and algae around coral and rocky reefs.
French Grunt
Haemulon flavolineatum
French grunt is a small tropical marine grunt common on Caribbean and western Atlantic reefs. It forms schools over sand, seagrass, and coral, and makes a distinctive grunting sound when handled.
Gafftopsail Catfish
Bagre marinus
Gafftopsail Catfish (Bagre marinus) is a saltwater/brackish ariid catfish of bays, estuaries, and coastal shallows. It has venomous fin spines and is a strong, common bait-stealer that bites best on fresh cut bait.
Galápagos Gregory
Stegastes arcifrons
The Galápagos Gregory is a small damselfish endemic to the tropical eastern Pacific, especially around the Galápagos and nearby islands. It is territorial and usually seen in shallow reef zones where it grazes and defends a small patch of habitat.
Garibaldi
Hypsypops rubicundus
Garibaldi is a brilliant orange damselfish native to the eastern Pacific, especially kelp beds and rocky reefs off southern California and Baja California. It is strongly territorial and commonly seen in shallow coastal water; in California it is a protected marine aquarium species, not a routine game fish.
Giant Damselfish
Microspathodon dorsalis
Giant Damselfish is a reef-associated damselfish of the eastern Pacific, from Baja California to northern Peru and the Galápagos. Adults are dark and territorial, guarding algae patches on rocky reefs and surge zones; reliable angling targets are limited because it is not a common sport fish.
