Keep them well iced while fishing. Ice, salt water brine, you may need to add salt to the brine. Hands get very, very cold reaching in to take them out.
15lb. bag of ice at Market Basket 2.50 I usually get 3 bags.

You're getting ripped off, I pay 2.50 a TOTE at the ice house. A tote=100 lbs. |

Gillnetting bluefish is a nightmare. Either a supa heavy duty net or be like Besty Ross. A real good sewer. When we would get them in the pogie gill net it was a shat show. Tore it to hell.
You would need a bigger boat than a skiff in order to handle the weight of the type of net you would need.
I once did 160#s GUTTED of bluefish one morning from shore at Race Point. Could barely get them all in the old Land Rover. Even had em piled on the passenger side floor. SUCKED gutten em all.
They changed the regs on bluefish this past season that they now need to be below I believe it was 56 degrees in order for the dealer to take them. Dealers were SUPPOSED to take and record the time and temperature of EVERY single bluefish they took in. Was a real problem down in Westport as the water was 75 degrees. Guys were coming in with bluefish that were so fresh they were still moving and the dealer had to reject them because, DUH, they were the same temperature as the friggin water they just came out of.......Was asinine. They would have to pack them in ice for a day just to get them to the acceptable temperature........So much for "fresh" bluefish.  |

I had already mentioned Market Basket -2.50 for 15lb. bag of ice. I get 45 lbs. total. Going to Market Basket I consider conveience. Takes ten minutes. I do not go to my friend for ice. Use to go to ice house and the auction, which is to much of a hassel.
Market Basket is 3minutes from my boat.
willing to pay more for conveience.  |
