Fishing Report 8/24/09
We enjoyed a beautiful day on the water with John and Eddie who were in Mystic for a little R&R. Although they professed to be “novices” and never having caught any ocean fish, they mastered the chunking technique quite quickly and caught about a half dozen stripers plus two slammer bluefish. Only one of the stripers was a keeper but John also wanted to keep the bluefish because he knows that, handled and cooked properly, blues can be really delicious! He should know because he formerly owned a restaurant in Westport. Not wanting to disappoint him, we carefully bled the big bruisers and put them on ice. We gutted each fish on the way back to the dock including removal of all the gills. I hope the fish feast is A-One!
