Striper Trip Opening-Montauk

[Uncle Nicky]

Due to a cancellation, there is an opening available for 1 person on a charter trip from Montauk, on Saturday, September 10th. The plan right now is to target stripers and bluefish, and once we get a limit of stripers, fish for fluke and sea bass. I've done this trip dozens of times, September is usually prime time. Charter boat is Windy, Captain Jack Passie. If anyone is interested, send me a PM for details. Thanks for looking!

I'd LOVE to go, Nick, but I have a tentative  trip to North Carolina about that time that I have already committed to...

Found a 6th guy to go after all. Another outstanding trip to the Sportfishing Capitol of the NorthEast. My son caught the biggest porgie I have ever seen!

You going to smoke the bluefish? I've heard that's decent

I've smoked bluefish before, it's good. I can't eat salty food anymore, so that's out. I'll have some tonight and maybe another meal this week, the rest I'll give to neighbors. I found the best thing to do is trim ALL the bloodline off the back of the filet, and give it a soak in water for a little while to get some of the blood out before cooking. It's not bad fresh, just gets funky once it sits in the freezer a while.

That's a good day of fishing!!  Wish I would have seen your original post, I would have liked to have been out there.  Keep me in mind for future fill ins!!

If you eat the blue's fresh they have a good consistency, but once they hang around in the freezer too long they get mushy. I don't even bother keeping anything over a couple pounds when it comes to blue's.

Could you soak the filets in milk overnight like a big gamey tasting buck ? Just a thought  I have no idea but it sounds like it may work. Coming from a guy who's never shot a big, gamey ,old wall hangar buck
