Saltwater Offshore Reports
1

With little experience, my offshore trips are limited to charters so far. Headed out Sunday at 7. Fished live pin fish, squid and other little fish caught on squid turned to bait. 100 to 120 feet water and temp. was 79. Bumpy on the way out. Nice day fishing. Absolutely soaked on the way in. No grouper or ARS. Some of the biggest BSB I have ever seen were returned. Caught B-liners, trigger, porgy, and jacks. Couple big break offs. Had a lot fun.

This jack was full of worms. Did get a little meat, worm free.

Oh yea. Should add. I fished with my kitchen crew. So we brought everything back to the restaurant, to give some of my crew practice cutting fish. Good learning experience for my crew and everybody wins. You can see in the last picture how mangled the meat is that the learning curve was a little long with some of my less experienced guys.

Anyways Looks like a great day. Can’t beat good times with good friends. Good for you guys!

Hey Dave! Didnt know you were on CF.com. Definitely have to get out together.

@ The Dude. That one was the little one. The two bigger jacks were less wormy. Wasnt sure what that one was but, definitely not the same. Not sure what all the different jacks are.

No worries nchucky. I took care of most of the fish. I knew the jacks were gonna a have a lot of worms. So I figured give the less experienced guys a shot at cutting a big fish. Rarely inexperienced cooks get to cut fish that big. When you pay $ for fish you cut like a surgeon.

Me to gut wrench. Definitely good stuff. Still have to cut off the wormy parts. Just cant get past that image. That’s why I posted photo. I have seen sword just as bad but you don’t hear people talk cheet on it. I’ve cut grouper with those black worms in them too.

We eat AJ’s too. I cut around the worms. I compare the meat/consistency/taste to a combination of mahi and a wahoo. It has the sweet flavor of the mahi with the firm flakiness of the wahoo. VERY good fish to eat, IMHO.
