![]() I am seeing too many pictures of bags and coolers of big Bluefish and big Stripers from a lot of the Party Boat reports. No one is putting their fish in a big cooler with plenty of ice and plenty of salt water to keep their fish plenty cold and NOT DISGUSTINGLY DRY!!!
I am not bashing party boats. It is not the Capt's responsibity. I just want too see customers and fishermen more informed. I don't even see many customers bleed both their blues and bass. I guess some just don't know. I hope people don't waste fish. That is the only thing I wish they do not do. If they do not take care of their catch, it is WASTED! SNAPPERHEAD

![]() Part of the problem is most guys don't have coolers to handle these sort of fish. Need to bring 120s to properly deal with 20lb blues.

![]() It's funny, I noticed that too. The bass especially , gotta bleed them right away and stuff um in a saltwater slurry ... Pronto . The 14-20lb blues in a burlap sack are cat food as far as I'm concerned.

![]() Get the mates to fillet these fish - it takes 1/4 th space and smoked bluefish is the best there is.

![]() Not sure if you what you espouse is practical on a party boat.
As stated before the cooler size needed does not fit under a PB deckseat. And 40 guys bringing 40 coolers big enough to fit 10 medium-sized bluefish is fantasy land. So how big is the cooler you bring on board and buckets to get your briny water? What you suggest is great on a rec vessel with no fish box. But naively problematic on all but the emptiest of party boats. Maybe if you're limiting out with 2 winter flounder or 1 weakfish you can bring that cooler? If they bleed the fish... cool. If they collar it and pack it with ice- cool. I'm sure you can educate them when you can. A pool winner candidate is not a good idea though. ![]() Quote:
