Don't forget those sea bass! I've found that smaller bluefish (2 pounds or less) are delicious when cooked right, but that the monsters that fight well have a stronger taste as well as a tougher texture.

ya we call those snappers ( baby blues basically) there decent eating we just liveline them to catch bigger guys
im doing some shark trips this year ( we liveline big blues for blue shark and mako)
i cant wait till the striper run on the Ct river its amazing
Off topic but was the fish good to eat? I have heard both good and bad on bluefish. Sounds good with the veggies, its prob all in how you cook it.xspainx69;1503776; said:Before I got into the hobby of fishing freshwater, I actually first started fishing saltwater and I would go to "The Rocks" of FT. Totten in Queens and stand on the rocks far into the shore and cast a circle hook with a metal leader and a 8 LB weight with some Bunker on the hook. Then I put my pipe in the rocks and set down my rod in the pipe and place my little bells on the tip of the rod and sit back and relax.
Last summer I walked away to talk to some guy who was telling me his stories about how he comes here a lot and watches the Fish warrdens come and inspect all the catches to see if they are within legal size to keep.
Suddenly, my bells go crazy and start ringing and my rod is bening forward and I run to get it and I set the hook on him and boom! The hardest fight of my life began. I struggled with him for like 6 minutes until he tricked me and ran into the rocks trying to make my line scrape into the rocks so it can snap but I got him!
It was so big that when I held him from the gills he flopped so hard that I almost fell back into the rocks and fell with him but my friend held me forward
So that was my saltwater experience, but after that I had him for dinner , he went in the oven with some potatoes and veggies and mash potatoes

Sounds fun. I've never gone sharking before. You catch and release or steak the sharks?
I bake mine. Olive oil, garlic powder and italian seasoning. Bake wrapped, open for the last two minutes. Serve with lemon juice.Rockbass6;1504857; said:

Aww man.. that sounds delicious....
Jaws would be cool I guess...
Whenever I have time during the sept aug time, I would go out to the shore and just throw out a small metal fish looking hook with a popper and just cast and reel... every time, I would catch these small 4 -5 inch fish... Im not sure what they were exactly though...
My brother and I were fishing once and I realized that he had not reeled in his line for a VERY LONG time... So im like, yo, your bait is probably already eaten already so he reels it in, and on the hook... NO JOKE! was a CRAB!!!! the hook had somehow got caught on its arm and he dragged the crab in.... haha... I was so dumbfounded... my brother was laughing because I never caught anything but he caught this crab on a line! but we let it go because I didn't feel like killing it

eh not really it costs a lot of gas to drag a shark back in with all that resistance behind the boat... ive seen it done before shark fishings not my favorite, sometimes i work as a mate on my dads friend boat in NH hes mostly a Tuna guy, they catch 800 pounders havent gotten that chance yet though with him gotten skucnked to many times as sand sharks got in our drift end up catching hundreds of those instead ( people jiigging for cod and snagging sand sharks at 200 ft wit a diamnd jig
