No luck on Striper what I got is just Bluessss......

Me and my two pals got this today and my arms are hurting right now.

Do you think you kept enough of them?:rolleyes:

No we just kept 20 and gave to others who just got a few that's to much blues for us and the DEM will bust our butts if we keep all of them.

Bless you///// 20 less to mess with :happy:

send 'em to me!
i got a use for them:)
say hello to my little motorized friend
"mr. chummer
dah, duh. dah,duh. dah,duh:)
:laughs: dah, duh. dah,duh. dah,duh:)

It's unbelievable men they were boiling and jumping by 3pm and stops at 7pm right on the shoreline. I never seen this too much blues since I started fishing.

But still no striper waaaahhhhh!!!!!

You should have waited a bit, stripers must have been under/after them !

Bud but that picture is wrong....you and 2 other guys, that means ya can keep what 30? There are over 30 fish in that photo. Why keep them if you aren't going to eat them? What just to say" Look at me". I am not a C&R zealot or anything but that brings back memories of years gone by. Even though it is a blue ya could have put a few back:smash:

Meathunters, BAH!

It's not what you think man what we got was 29 this picture is just a merge of the two shots I had on my digital cam using photo stitch you can see the position of the fish and the knife.
I should have mention it on the begining. I will not catch more than were allowed to and the DEM were all over the place also.

I will bet many of those go to waste!:smash: Nobody in their right mind keeps that many blues....and I know your not selling them!:rolleyes: Caught up in the moment....I have seen it before!:mad:

geez.... seems like a little overkill, hope they all find a good home, not a trash bag.

Got Smoker?

Looks like it to me. A couple years ago, got into a blitz, couple of guys I know said keep them, we got a guy who smokes them, needs them all, (he has a big following, and a demand for them). We had a fillet party, gave all the racks to a lobster guy, fillets to the smoker guy, no waste, every body got some smoked fillet in return :drool:

and man, did I stink for a week! :eek:

I just brought six at home and my pals kept the rest of them so I'm guessing I'll have fish for a week.

I tried to stay after the school of blues like for an hour but no sign of stripers maybe next time.

Hope you did the right thing and also picked up the lovely trash thats in the photo...

man, you must really like bluefish....

More anglers like you and we will all be wishing for blues in another 5 years...

Yup we bring our own trash bag every where we go. We clean up everybody's mess before sunset.

If those are rotting in a dumpster somewhere you did a bad thing... 30 8lb bluefish is close to 100lbs of meat... what a waste...

Reminds me of those old pictures of piles of dead Buffalo or Passenger Pigeons.

eek thats a lot of dead bluefish...........never got into that many ever most ive ever had was 5 in one day

Just dont see the point in keeping that many fish....I can see a few but what you are you gonna do with 30 bluefish?! I see this all the time and its kinda sad....Most fish totally go to waste. Im a little bias maybe beacuse i am strictly C&R with my fish. I got no problem with people keeping some fish, but that many?:rolleyes: Damn man, i hope you left a few for me to catch in the next few weeks. Just becaue your allowed to keep a certain amount of fish doesnt mean you have too! The fun part is catching them not seeing how many i can keep to impress my buddys. :smash:

there is no need AT ALL to keep that many fish!

WHy did you feel the need to kill all those fish?:(

Yes in the dumpster is a bad thing.. They go better in the garden!
just kidding!!!

3 guys 29 blues... that 9.66666 blues each... multiply that by 7 estimate weight per fish (looks like more 5-6#'s and that one or two that's pushing low teens) then take 55% away as unusable.. that how much meat give or take a pound they ended up with. about 30#'s of fillets each... dunno about the rest of you guys but my family is a little large and 30#'s of fillets goes quite quickly...

But since everyone see's this as bluefish and not COD fish because to alot blues taste like Arse because most don't know how to prepare/cook them they feel it's a waste... LOL

I this was 29 codfish between 3 guys some people would have said that's all?

I count over 40 fish in the photo. I'm all for keeping some for the table but, to me, it's just a waste of a natural resource.

hey didn't you read it guys we gave it away and just kept 20 if you haven't read the first statement. I also told the first statement that it's a merger picture just look on the picture on ehat I'm saying. I'm not keeping all of them I gave them to some of my friends and 2 of my pals gave it also to some of their friends.

What the heck I'm tired of explaining nobody is ever satisfied on any answer don't worry this is the last blue fish I will ever kept.

No, that is not one pic, he explained its actually two pix put together of the same pile. Probally is really only 29 fish, not 40, still a waste though. Im sure he wont do it again , after hearing all our opinions on it, just over exited , ive been there before myself.:smash:

take a closer look at the picture.. it's the same pile of fish! He mentions it further down his post...

If you're not going to eat them, put them back. Those small ones too.:hs:

the small ones are yummeeeeeeeee :) i dunno i dont care how many u take if its the limit its the limit dont bitch at him for takin his limit bitch at those who set it if u think its 2 high

J said they did not go to waste....who are we to question him? Looks like ya had fun J.;)

pics like this :doh: :wall: :af:

One thing you might want to try next time you head out and keep a few (or more than few :hihi: ) blues...

Try bleeding them in a bucket the minute they are caught. Take your knife and cut the gills and place head down in a bucket (away from dirt, etc). Then, gut them and ice them as soon as you can, the flavor will be vastly improved.

Personally, I fish and hunt for the meat, thats it! Couldn't care less about the "sport" of it all. I'll take a doe over a huge rack any day if given the chance. I have better things to do then spending my precious time to just c&r. Nothing against the "sport" of things but my tummy comes first:drool: As long as nothing get wasted and its taken legally, enjoy.

:rolleyes:

I'm with clammer on this one... 30 or 40 less devilfish out there waiting to bite my eels...:smash:

nice haul!

don't listen to the negetive crap!
thats a nice haul:gorez:
dah-dum,dah-dum:D

as long as nothing went to waste, it's all good!
:D :D :D

blues all in the inner harbor this morn .got one while getting fuel :p

Christian....did you have your hose in the water again?:eek:

Why aren't you making plugs!:af:

:D

im building more now donnn't worry, order of wood comming.

actually i was letting my friend do the filling while i jigged a bucktail:D

blues are tasty if you cook em right i like grilling them with a little bit of BBQ sauce on them bleed the blues when you catch em

I am jealous. I would love to limit out on blues.

I have not seen anywhere that blues are becoming endangered. With Bluefish, if I am where I can easily tote them to the car, I will keep 'em and eat 'em or freeze 'em for later.

-IWK

yea im jealous 2 never seen so many caught at one trip from shore ive seen a lot of time ppl have 4-5 but never 20-30 like those pics
