Bingo Ling Report

[Uncle Luna]

Fished Capt. Jacks Bingo with Luna Sea, loads of ling caught, as for me and Nick we boated 40 between us.Had a blast, probably  caught just as many conger eels, those Things beat you up.
Great boat to go on and mate is the best, thanks Mark.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like it was a great trip.  Mark is new to the Bingo as he had worked for many, many years on the boat name in my picture.  He is a great mate.

Were you using clams when you were catching the congers? I had mentioned on here that on my trip on the Tagged Fish that we took the clams off for most of the day and just fishing some type of Gulp bait on the hook.  We just jigged the Gulp and had "stupid" fishing for the ling with no more congers caught. 

Enjoy your great eats. I would love to do another ling trip soon, but I would have to buy a new freezer to put them in as I have no more room left from my prior trips.

Wow I just made some ling quesadillas for lunch on a whole wheat wrap, low fat cheese and fat free tarter sauce and a few dashes of hot sauce.  I'm onto something good here LOL

Just when you thought is was safe to go back in the <a class="inlineAdmedialink" href="#">water[/url] But ours do not get that big I did a search of conger eel cooking and as always in the UK they are very popular as is Dog Fish the so called fish and Chips choice. Gordon Ramsey  did a stew on <a class="inlineAdmedialink" href="#">you tube[/url] so if I was you I would stop throwing them back as we did with the Sewer Trout ( Ling ) since they are now a target and will be gone soon  
During the search I found Sea Angler a Mag. from the other side it makes good reading and very interesting also

[Uncle Luna]

Not sure if you can keep the eels Mate told us they were protected, not sure how they are protected 

[IKAT]

Interesting--Never heard they were protected.

Was always asked if I wanted to keep them when out for cod in winter--Have to ck that out.

Just FYI--conger and ocean pout ARE different.

[overbite]

Sea Lawyers No where on the World Wide Web for Nj or any where else could I find they are protected, or regulated,  I tried to post a link but so here it is Marine Conservation Society Fish on line the in depth guide to sustainable Sea food. So enjoy next some one will say sea robins are protected and have to be 21 inches to keep

[Uncle Luna]

Maybe mates don't want to fillet them  
Did search for recipies and found many different ways to prepare and cook the eels, I have never tried it but I'm sure they must be good. You can make almost any fish taste good if prepared right.
Curious now might want to try it sometime.

  As i said I once mated on a few Charter boats, out of Clark's and Crystal Point, taking care of the catch was # 1. and a big part of the tip.  And the times I fished on the head boats I never had a mate clean my fish most would waste more, and the fish were dirty with slime,  I clean my own fish thankyou, and Congers are harder then reg. eels to skin. but they can be Filet and again not that easy we talk about a lot of fish we throw back thinking there not good eating but since many people have immigrated here many of the fish are now available that we never thought about eating The Asian market in Marlboro i have talked about has fish from around the world fresh and frozen and Alive and some very scary looking    Next door are Asian and grandma cooks fish up for me its to die for I supply her the fish and she has to return the favor.  love grandma
