Default Sponsor Party Boat Captains Suggestion

I just returned from a short fishing trip/visit to the Panama City area on the Gulf of Mexico. The weather is always hot and the party boats do not allow coolers onboard. To help keep the customer’s freshly caught fish from spoiling in the heat, the boats are equipped with onboard slush tanks. When a customer catches a keeper, the mate puts it on a numbered stringer and submerges the stringer in the ice bath.

Back at the dock, the customers retrieve their stringers from the mates according to the numbers on their boarding tickets. No fuss, no mess, and the fish are in great shape. There is a fish cleaning service available at the dock for a fee of 70 cents per pound.

It’s just an idea, but, having a slush tank would definitely improve the quality of the fish that are taken home. I can see how it would help in many ways.

No one wants to hear about the no alcohol or drugs allowed onboard, but on the boats we were on, that was the way it was..........and no one complained! It was backpacks only as well. If you could fit some drinks and ice and tackle in your pack pack, you were set.

Different strokes for different folks. It’s always a good thing to see other ways to do things and hOw things are done.

Finally, there’s nothing better than a well-cared for fresh fish. Bled quickly, iced and fillets soaked in a mild kosher salt/ice bath preserves the taste and texture of any fish.
