Just keep in mind that this area of NJ (Island Beach State Park/Seaside Park) probably had at least 10,000 people fishing from Thursday to Monday when the 20s, 30s, a few 40s, and one 50 were caught. Many many people fishing never got a hit! Most of these fish are the result of bunker finally coming close enough to the beach. If you were at that exact spot you scored. Many were not. A few days of bunker hitting the beach in a few spots doesn't make an excellent fishing season.
fish that have been in the sea for 10-15 years have had a much longer time frame to absorb mercury into their flesh same as
swordfish....
that's why i think it's a bad idea to eat them from a health perspective...
sure you get real big thick fillets and many of them
but at a much higher risk...
keeeee riste mercury is coming from PA and China...
thru the air....
i am a meat fisherman and i plan to only eat shorts
and by that i mean 28 INCH FISH UP TO 34...INCHES
I AM AS SENILE- ALREADY - AS I WANT TO BE...
just my opinion of course....and i don't have any children sadly
but if i did
i wouldn't even think of feeding them OLDer fish
it's bad for them and bad for the fishery
when you can easily take home schoolies instead.
it's not prime time yet down here. The whole month of June is bunker city in north jersey. 2 years ago the best day was July 8th (I was in Cali on a business trip of course). There was a 48 weighed caught in Montauk this weekend as well.
That being said I'm heading to fish the Merrimack with my brother for a week Hope to hit Winnisquam one day for smallies.
