  1. Tuna fished tuesday but took an hour break for stripers 2 miles off peaked hill bar at the back end of the incoming tide in the early afternoon. Breaking fish wouldn't take a single lure, but got a few hook ups in a relatively short period of time live-lining huge macs, so I tend to agree with this theory.
  2. Ah I see, I'm new to the area and had no idea. Earlier this year I was keeping a fish alive on a stringer that I wanted to keep, but I left the ice on the dock so I just wanted to keep it as fresh as possible as long as possible while fishing C&R. Coast guard was out and about and I had a guy come over and warn me it was illegal and considered intent to high-grade/exchange that fish for a better one. Having no idea, I thanked him and asked if he by any chance had any ice i could buy off him and he gave me 2 bags for free... good guy.
  3. +2 on GSP and basically all of NYC. I've done more driving on the GSP than anywhere else (and as an immature kid was one of the jackasses driving recklessly) - definitely find all else to be tame in comparison
  4. But you're doing math with misinterpreted information. There wasn't 500 pounds sold for a total of $365, there was 500 pounds sold for $3.65 a pound.
  5. Big props to the people who got it back in the water and revived it... now go eat the damn seals
  6. How do you cook them? I've made "lobster roll" type sandwiches with poached bluefish, "tuna salad" type with steamed bluefish, simply grilled with lemon and onion in foil packets, and broiled with lime aioli. I like it smoked but don't have a smoker or charcoal grill so its too much. Always looking for new ways to change things up though.
  7. There were a lot less boats than the first commercial day and the next thursday after that (thursdays happen to be a day off for me coinciding with commercial day). Chased the birds into deeper water down the backside, a couple miles offshore but inside the 3NM and just had endless thick bait and bass swimming under the boat from 20-60 feet. Wouldn't even call them schools because there weren't pods of them, just an endless stream. None smaller than 36" that we landed. Drifted for 2 hours with nonstop action on live macs and not a single boat anywhere near us while the commercial guys were on the radio complaining about how the fish were too small and moving too fast to stay on top of them and jig. I'm new to the area and this style of fishing and haven't had much success jigging them on the drop off by the race, even when surrounded by 5 boats consistently hooking up jigging, so to get out of the fleet and have great peaceful success on a day where the topwater was slower than the past few weeks was nice.
  8. Ice them down in a bucket with a bunch of holes drilled in the bottom suspended over another bucket that can collect the slime and water draining thru the holes of the top bucket. I've kept them alive for days like this thanks to a tip from a customer in the shop I picked them up from. They'll be sleepy and barely moving, but liven up completely the second they hit the water. Just have to make sure you keep ice on them and change the water from the bottom bucket any time it gets close to reaching and contaminating the top bucket, otherwise they'll drown in their slime and deoxygenated water.
  9. Generally haddock and pollack I'd presume with the cod ban. Doubt local restaurants would risk penalty on poached BSB for simple fried fish.
  10. Guess I didn't pick the best day for my first run over to the race from marshfield huh
