I’ve always tossed blue fish back. Are they popular to eat? I do end up frying all my fish so it probably wouldn’t make much difference but aren’t they really boney or “fishy”?
Love whiting though!
And looks like you had a BUSY day!

I have eaten them before. As long as you fillet them and eat them same day they taste like any other fish. I freeze the bluefish and whiting for bait now though.
What was the tide doing?
Out in and low didn’t matter
Thanks I appreciate the response
Wow, just incredible for one person. Great job!

With that many fish and blue fish caught you had to of gone through some bait. I think bluefish might be the top redfish bait or at least very close to mullet.
There was so much action on my rods I had to put away one rod and just use 2 rods. I only went through probably 5 bluefish and 2 whiting. I use small prices of bait like the size of a nickel. Bluefish beats out mullet because it actually stays on the hook. Otherwise I would say bluefish and mullet the same with whiting for me being second.
We had a good morning as well but it was only low tide and the first 2 hours of incoming and then it turned off like a light switch.

That’s usually when I do the worst is low tide I usually just pack it up when it’s gets there.
Good haul

We were beside you this morning I believe. Me, my dad and two of my boys. You were catching a lot of blues. We had a few reds and blues but nothing like yesterday. Yesterday we were sitting were you sat today.

Ohh yeah that was me. I pulled in a 30 inch red shortly after you got there. Probably didn’t see because the sun wasn’t up yet.
Good stuff man. You’ve got a fine setup and looks like you do this a lot.

Thanks man yeah I’m out there alot. Last year I was out there 6 days a week this year I just get out when my body says it’s rested enough. I come home hurting and barely able to sleep at night. I might look fine out there but once I hit my car seat I highly regret it lol
