Usually they get out of there as soon as you look at them in my river. Too many rednecks around here would have the skin on the side of the shed and the tail in the freezer. |

In the river, the surface temp is probably still 65, which makes for poor quality fish, and we do get sea lions all the way to Sacramento. They will take the fish off the stringer. Gut them and put them on ice for nice quality fish. These salmon are far enough down river, that 90% are still ocean quality meat. Further up river, they may be mush, black spawned out fish. |

That is the thought about fish on a stringer but a lot of time they die and the deterioration starts immediately. Most state and federal laws require that you are not filleting them on the water tho because it is harder to enforce size limits. Throwing the whole fish into the cooler or dropping them in a live well is the way to go if you think the cops will see you. |

Throwing the whole fish into the cooler or dropping them in a live well is the way to go if you think the cops will see you. One cannot touch a rockfish up here. The cops do check the coolers though, and if the fish looks close, they'll measure it. On a stringer the fish isn't being pulled through the water, which it would be if trolled behind the boat keeping water flowing past the gills. I've never done it, but it would seem those folks must have a reason for doing so. I used to see fish on a stringer when I was a kid but that was also when deer were tied across car fenders. I think it is really more of a lake thing than a salt water thing tho. In salt water, there are too many things that will eat a fish on a stringer, no matter how big it is. I was out on the Sanibel fishing pier when I lived there and I saw a 3' red fish on a stringer get taken by a black tip shark that was not a whole lot bigger than the red. Two bites and it was gone. |

Still do not understand people dragging a fish in the water. In the river, the surface temp is probably still 65, which makes for poor quality fish, and we do get sea lions all the way to Sacramento. They will take the fish off the stringer. Gut them and put them on ice for nice quality fish. These salmon are far enough down river, that 90% are still ocean quality meat. Further up river, they may be mush, black spawned out fish. Maybe they didn't have a permit (if required) and wanted to be able to cut it loose if the mounties showed up. You know, "Aw, it was just a dogfish, officer." Nope, see idiots tow trout in the lakes also. Warm water is not good for great tasting fish. Just have a line in the water without a license will get you a ticket. Perhaps towing them keeps them alive longer? Hell, there must be a reason they do it. That is the thought about fish on a stringer but a lot of time they die and the deterioration starts immediately. Most state and federal laws require that you are not filleting them on the water tho because it is harder to enforce size limits. Throwing the whole fish into the cooler or dropping them in a live well is the way to go if you think the cops will see you. One cannot touch a rockfish up here. The cops do check the coolers though, and if the fish looks close, they'll measure it. On a stringer the fish isn't being pulled through the water, which it would be if trolled behind the boat keeping water flowing past the gills. I've never done it, but it would seem those folks must have a reason for doing so. Trolling fish on a stringer will literally drown them. They can't control their gills and "breathe" at their own pace. OK, you've convinced me. I'm not going to do it...ever. Now, why do you reckon those turkeys in CA were doing it? |
Anyone hear from Wayne?

I learned that lesson many years ago. You can make a nice live well out of a cooler and a kit from Bass Pro. Larger fish are put on ice right away. |
