Saltlife- catch them up bud, highly suggest filleting the first bergals you guys get and using strips of them as bait. Plain and simple got the job done for us.

That's great to know the last couple that I caught accidentally while Ling fishing were full of roe & returned unharmed by me. Usually during the summer I wont keep the females anyway. If you or anybody else catch's any when in season wants to keep them so be it. I'm the furthest thing from a tree hugger so keep the legal fish but I like the fact that you keep only what you need.
