Bluefish
 

Explosive electrified great fishing as long as they don`t tear up a nice custom plug I love to catch them!

which one of us do u think are nuts for? to hate or love bluefish? they are nusisance. but i do love fishing for them on plugs. let them tear them up.

I'll take 'em any day.......love to eat 'em too!! Tasty little buggers:D

blues- WAY FUN!!!

their fish, they fight, always welcome with me

Plus they are good for lobsters and crabs...My uncle has a new boat now, a 23 or 24 feet glady-white with a 9' feet beam on buzzards bay.

Dont mind them at all:D Wouldnt weigh one in though:skulz:

I way em in all the time............ At 50 cents a pound.

they'll be even bigger this year if the trend continues

Blues
 

Great to catch and release, but eating

GAG A MAGOT!!:( :(

Clean em quick, cut out the brown strip and use them for fish chowder. Makes a very nice dish. Combine that with the fun of the catch and I'm all for them.

Chowder????
 

Hey Fish On,

Iv'e tried Blue fish several ways. Smoked was the only way that I liked and just a little of that went a long way.
I would try the chowder if you would share your recipe.
I like chowder. Do you do anything special to the blue fish?









:huh: :huh:

:mad: ohhh I see...:mad:

S/M say your @#$%^& kiddin :af:

Flaptail is dead on correct,

first weekend in May they hit MV...three days later on the south Side of Ole Cape Cod...

right on time, 6the year in the last 8 they re on time by my log

bigFish and I will go gert em in the morning...oh sh, it is morning.

I'm with Clammer - Damn F$@!%#!& Bluefish !!!!......

Yeah, I remember this last year. Everybody was like, Oh Blues are fun. They fight great! Then come mid-June everybody will be singing the Blues Blues again.

Hope folks don't feel this is too much of a segway, but here goes. I'd be happy to share the recipe. By the way this is Mom's.

Fry 5 pieces of bacon; crisp but not burnt.
Drain on a paper towel.
Pour bacon fat through paper towel-on-a-strainer into a large pan.
Add 1 onion and 3 celery stalks chopped.
Saute til partially cooked.
Add 1 cup water 2 cups milk 5 diced potatoes and 1/2 green pepper.
Add 1 bag frozen corn (I added this because I like corn in my chowder, mom said it was ok with her).
Salt, Pepper, Mrs Dash to taste.
Add crumbled bacon.
Simmer, not boil 15 minutes until potatoes are partially cooked.
Cut fish into 1" chunks (works for any whitefish as well as Bluefish).
Blend 2 (more) cups of milk with 1-1/2 tablespoons of flour.
Add to pan along with fish chunks and simmer until fish is cooked.
It does not take long for fish to cook (maybe 10 minutes).
Don't go too long as fish will get mushy, be sure to simmer not boil.

Enjoy with stories of how the bluefish were caught!

BasicPatrick, I recalled the spring run last May. Blues were frenzy and non-stop in Poppy flats.

Thanks
 

Fish On
