Macs and Whiting

[socks]

I wanna smoke some macs and whiting for the holidays. What boats are sailing 3to9 trips.

Better reset your time machine for 1990 at the very least!

I hope your referring to Macanudos and White Owls.........otherwise you might be disappointed! Those fisheries are long gone at least in this neck of the woods but your post certainly brings back memories. Two more fisheries that couldn't possibly be destroyed which were due to over-harvest by commercials and policy decisions of our inept government. JR's 3-9 is your best bet!

Sounds like maybe we will get a shot a mackerel this year.
It doesn't always happen though.....

there will be no 3-9 boats.

Wow....Thanks for the Memory!! Sad to say you can find some Smoked Spikes this time of year (if your lucky) at a good fish market.

I think the Palace out of Hoboken and Sea Pidgeon out of the Amboys will be running for them too. Maybe the Delmar and Lazy Bones or perhaps the Sunbeam may all switch over.

Or just hit Long Branch fishing pier in January. They are all good for night whiting.

Go up to New Hampshire in the summer or invent a time machine

We see them ""fresh"" all the time up here in NY state.. Wegmans and Price Rite, has them in plastic wrapped trays on ice or in the refrigerator... Dark sickly looking gray, , rotten looking, and the size of Smelts.. They are gobbled up by the netters before they can even mature.. I never see large or even medium size Whiting for sale.. All spikes,all the time.. WHO buys these things anyway???... they look disgusting.

I DESPISE govt regulations on just about any fishery, but it would not break my heart to see a moratorium on Whiting so they can recover.. Do netters really make any money catching and selling 8 inch Whiting?????bob
