10/5 Inshore BI
« on: October 06, 2008, 12:12:45 PM »
Broke the inlet much later than we wanted yesterday, close to 7:45am. Looked for pods, didn't see any but marked lots of bait with very little to no activity. Trolled tubes and spoons for awhile - nothing. Headed over to the tires and hung a mixed bag of short everything on the drift. The crew did manage to bag two really nice 'togs. One got a 17", the other 16. Ended the day on a fat keeper sea bass. Really beautiful day on the water, although again, not what the forecast called for. Wind changed and we were looking a solid chop with whitecaps by mid-afternoon. Went back inside and chilled.

Got a little tight out at the tires and a bunch of idiots anchoring on the BLR were yelling at us for drifting!!!!

Hey, what's the deal with porgies? How big do they get? Eat 'em? Put'em on a hook and send them back down? Seemed to be Porgie Central out there yesterday. Wish my kids were with me. They'd have had fun...

Great report and nice catch!  I don't eat porgies, but a lot of people on here do.  Supposed to be good eating!

Porgies are good eating, although you can't really ever get a fillet out of them. I've even seen a mate a few years back gut and scale one wrap it in a paper towel and nuke it for a good minute. I usually have a hard time finding a good amount table worthy fish.

You have to be careful and remember that the minimum size is 9", even if using as bait. I have heard of guys using them for bait by snipping the dorsal fins and livelining.
