Iceing a fish down immediately after catching it is paramount to how it will taste later. Also Fileting it within a few hours helps alot too. Personally I do not see a need to bleed a fish like a Mac or Bluefish, nor do I soak either in milk.... Some folks like to do this though and tere is nothing wrong with it, I just do not see enough benefit to go through the process IMHO, but that is just MHO again.

Ice it down, Filet it within a few hours and remove skin, you will have a delicious meal of most anything you care to keep.

In regards to the Bloodline in Bluefish. I generally tend to cook the filets of Blues intact ( removing skin and poinbones of course) tyhen seperate the white from redmeay rater easily before service or on my plate if it is just us eating.

With Macs because the pinbines run halfway down the filet, I just remove the bloodline with the pinbones by angling the blade down and into the filet. What remains in the tail end is so minimal it does not warrant any action. If I am making ceviche with them, I remove the entire bloodline leaving only white flesh at the time the pinbones come out.

Smoked Fish dip is awesome also, Gotants.

I mix mine up with onion, celery, mayo, capers, dill, cholula hot sauce, a drop of worsteshire sauce, S and P.

I love fish dip !

went out yesterday from about 5pm till 3am and mainly stayed on the T goofing off, not much was caught, some monster blues and a few undersized (barely) muttons but all in all was a slow night. gonna head out now and stay till about 11pm, ill give an update when i get back. if you see a bad fisherman frustrated as hell wearing a military camo jacket and a black hat, thats me, step up and say hello, ill be on the middle, but probly wander to the T if its not too bust. hope to see others out there doing better than i have been latley :)

I went last night from 9pm to 1am to the pier .I did catch only small grunts and one undersized snapper .Slowly was an understatement for last night .The only keeperfish I saw at the T was one Bluefish .

Went last night with the family to the pier from sunset to around 11pm . The night fishing is still really slow .Just grunts ,pinfish and undersized snapper .Some people were trying to keep small mutton's ,but after I told them about size limits ,at least they let the snapper go.

went to the pier this morning from 6am to 1:30pm...i met Jason and Noel as i've seen their pics on the forum before so I introduced myself, nice fishing with you guys,....the water had nice color and there was a good breeze... the pompano crew was in full force to no avail...the macs were there but very finicky.....Jason got a nice one on a trollied herring...there was also another one landed that was 3-4lbs...they were still catching herring when I left.....my rod did manage to catch a cobia...it ate a herring on the bottom...my friend picked up my rod and brought him in as i proceeded to drop the net on his head :shock: then he flopped in and out of the net and broke off...he was short so i didn't mind,probably between 28 and 30 max otherwise i would've blamed it on jason's net :lol: ....shortly after that fiasco my other rod with a trollied herring went off but it cut my line...there were 2 keeper lesser's landed also..when i was leaving these guys showed up with small live pilchards they catch in miami and caught a small mack and got cut off while i was there

you measure to the fork not overall
therefore if your mack was 22 to the fork it was a 22 inch mack and not 26
