what sort of fish are we looking at here,i presume they are good eating and saltwater species.cheers

Nice job mrbrklyn, lots of good eats there.




Wallacewt, they are a type of Porgy called a Scup. They would be related to what you would call a Sea Bream in your part of the world. We don't get that particular type of Porgy where I live in Southern Florida but we have several others almost identical. They are all good eating.

Actually, it is the Black Sea bass that are of particular interest. 

Gotcha, I figured he was asking about the Porgies as they were the most plentiful in the buckets. BSB is one of my favorites, its funny, we never caught them either this far south but the last couple years, they have been making a showing  in the 300' depth range.

Bigest that I have seen on the East Coast was 6-7 #. Those are monsters BSB. We might get a early Winter season this Winter.
