Just a nice semi-overcast day on the Bay. Caught about 15 spot on
Berkley bloodworms and very small hooks, dumped them into the
livewell, and went in search of big fish via livelining. Caught a few
blues, one decent sized striper, but he escaped. Neighbor who
accompanied me caught a keeper striper. May try again tomorrow if the
forecasted wind doesn't materialize. Didn't see Herring out there.

I understand keeping live bait alive in a livewell. I also
understand keeping fish alive in one when tournament fishing.

With that understanding........what is the purpose of keeping fish
intended to be on the dinner table in one knowing you eventually have
to put them on ice during the trip from the boat to home (knowing they
will die along the way)? I have no problem keeping my catch fresh on
ice in the cooler throughout a day of fishing.

Lastly....how do you start up and then shut down a livewell after a
day of fishing?

I never had a livewell so excuse the questions.

I don't know of any reason to keep those fish you intend to eat at the
end of a day's trip in the livewell.

Because 1/2 a day equals 12 hours. If you're out fishing that long and
bluefish are the reward, you keep them half a day fresher. Ice is fine,
but live is better. Your mileage may vary. Matter of fact, it WILL v

1/2 day does not equal 12 hours when fishing. 1/2 day boats in San Diego
do about 6 hours and the 3/4 day boats that go to the Coronados in MX
leave at 6am and return at about 6 pm.

When I say 1/2 day, it means 12 hours. I don't care what a bunch of
California pansies use as the definition.

When you go for a day fishing, do you spend 24 hours out in the lake?

Oddly enough, I have done it.

Do you really fish for Herring?


Great sport fishing for herring. American Shad are the largest of the
herring and one of the great sport fish.
Unfortunately, the herring fishery around here has pretty much been
destroyed by factory-style boats that overcatch the species
for...fertilizer, I believe.

They fish the herring for the roe and the rest goes to cat food and
fertilizer.




Yes, I read an article not long ago about the demise of that species in
this area, and I recall those uses being mentioned. Well, at least the
cat food and fertilizer part.

Down in SC, you can't get rid of the damned things in the lakes.

No attacks from me, Herring. Just pointing out yours. Lately virtually
everything you post is a cheap shot at someone else. Count 'em up. Start
with today...so far, I believe everything you have posted but for one is
a snark remark.

Harry, your cute little idea is nothing more than a front for more attack
posts.

Nope. I am simply pointing out that the majority of your posts are
nothing more than snark attacks.

Count 'em up the last two weeks. Dozens and dozens and dozens of little
bites from you almost anytime someone you don't like posts.

And you could easily say the same for yourself, Harry.

Culling. You keep the fish alive and well and at the end of the day,
cull for size.

There are folks who cull by simply throwing the smaller dead fish back in
the bay. Personally, I think that's why God made shotguns.

Culling live fish is illegal in many areas. Culling dead fish is
probably illegal everywhere. If it isn't, it should be.

Naw. Usually I buy a block of frozen Herring and grind it up for chum.


Here, though, if you put out a tiny piece of bloodworm, the Herring will
bite on it 20 times a day, apparently. (My filter collects headers, not
contents.)

I've said that before. Anything to keep you on a sociable level has to be
good. Do you get more pleasure from attacks and derogatory comments than
you do talking about your mom or your boat?

Try answering the question instead of snipping!

Hard to believe a person who had a carreer in the military leading men and
even worse...supposedly showing leadership to impressionable students as
their teacher,
would use someone's mother as a lever or control tool against them.
No wonder the world is 'going to hell in a hand basket'.


How was your mother being used 'against' you? Is keeping the conversation
sociable 'against' you?


We all know the game you play by bringing up Don's mom about 20 times a
day, therefo

Trouble is...in here, the 'Herring' sh*ts all over the place and
polutes the entire newsgroup.

How's your mom today, Don?



I'm cutting you and several others a new deal. You are temporarily out
of my bozo bin.

Beginning today, if you and the others I have released behave
reasonably, I will treat you the same way.

But when you post one of your snide little insults, as you have above,
I'll simply call you out on it thusly:

ROTF!
I lost a quarter of an inch of my left thumb to a bluefish. I kid you
not. Had I not duct-taped it back on, I would have lost my thumb tip
for sure.

Ouch...

I had one latch onto the meaty part of my left hand one - right under
the thumb. Took me a while to get it off.

The other day, I forgot to wear my filet glove when I gilled the thing
and it cut two fingers.

And that's not something that I can afford to get infected what with
all the chemo and stuff.

But hey - life goes on - live a little. :)


My wife was horrified when I got home and she realized all the blood in
the boat belong to me. :}

When did this happen?
