You need to go to a PORT and clean your fish. That way you filletted the fish on shore. Then you can depart and go lobstering and use the heads or any other parts for bait. For some strange reason they changed the law for charter boats, they can clean the fish at sea. Do not understand it!
Just a suggestion. Get a five gallon bucket or two or three and some heavy salt. Gut the carcass and chop it up in bait sized chunks. Chop the heads as well. Salt the pieces into the buckets. Layer of salt layer of bass layer of salt etc. Bucket full, seal the top on the bucket.
Now you have bait for several days. Lobsters love to eat bass.
If you get too many Lobsters call me up...I will take them off your hands...TIA.
