Bogue
Boops boops
Bogue is a small, silvery coastal sparid found in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. It often schools over sandy and muddy bottoms near shore, feeding on plankton, small crustaceans, and other tiny prey.
Bonefish
Albula vulpes
Bonefish (Albula vulpes) is a fast, schooling flats fish prized for stealthy sight-fishing and long runs on light tackle. It lives in warm shallow coastal waters, often feeding on small invertebrates over sand and turtle grass.
Boxlip Mullet
Oedalechilus labeo
Boxlip Mullet is a coastal mullet with a thick, protruding upper lip adapted for grazing and suction feeding on bottom growth. It occurs in marine to brackish waters and is mostly of interest to anglers as bycatch or a light-tackle bait species rather than a primary gamefish.
Brassy Drummer
Kyphosus vaigiensis
Brassy Drummer is a large kyphosid reef fish found around tropical and subtropical coasts, often grazing on algae and benthic growth. It is typically taken incidentally rather than targeted as a major game fish.
Bridled Monocle Bream
Scolopsis bilineata
Bridled monocle bream is a small Indo-Pacific reef fish often seen in loose groups over coral and rubble. It feeds on small benthic invertebrates and is more of a light-tackle bycatch than a targeted sport fish.
Broadnosed Pipefish
Syngnathus typhle
Broadnosed Pipefish is a slender syngnathid of sheltered coastal waters, often seen upright among eelgrass and other vegetation. It uses camouflage and a tubular snout to pick tiny crustaceans from the water and plants.
Brook Silverside
Labidesthes sicculus
Brook Silverside is a small, slender, translucent forage fish common in clear to moderately clear lakes, reservoirs, and slow rivers. It feeds near the surface on tiny zooplankton and insects and is more often an incidental catch than a targeted sport fish.
Brook Stickleback
Culaea inconstans
The brook stickleback is a small, benthic North American stickleback that inhabits cool, clear to stained waters with vegetation and low to moderate current. It feeds on tiny invertebrates and zooplankton and is often overlooked because of its size and cryptic habits.
Brook Trout
Salvelinus fontinalis
A cold clean-water char often associated with small streams and headwaters. This guide covers field identification, habitat, bait choices, fishing notes, and local rule reminders.
Brook Trout
Salvelinus fontinalis
Brook trout are a native char of eastern North America, prized for their vivid colors and cold-water needs. They usually live in clear, cool, well-oxygenated streams and lakes, and they often feed near cover on insects, crustaceans, and small fish.
Broomtail Wrasse
Cheilinus lunulatus
The broomtail wrasse is a large reef wrasse of Indo-Pacific coral and rocky reefs. It is a powerful, mostly solitary predator that feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates and reef fishes.
Brown Bullhead
Ameiurus nebulosus
Brown Bullhead is a hardy North American bullhead catfish introduced widely beyond its native range. It favors warm, still or slow waters and feeds mostly at night on bottom-dwelling invertebrates, fish, and organic matter.
