many years ago I went out on a 6pack fishing out of cape may I use a heavy Bait runner once I got it down on how much I had to let the biger ones run before setting the hook. But I cought the most on the boat the keepers.
Years ago I was talking with this old boy and he was talking about seatrout but fish is fish. Anfy way he said when he filet a fish take the fish body bones and boil the meat off and make fish cakes it worked well I was surprised how much meat I had for fishcakes.
