No Lee, not this time. It would be great to meet you guys.

Drive down the morning we cast off or the night before and say hi.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I wonder if the landing would let some of us catch/release some of those healthy mackerl that are around the docks there? To me thats fun cause those healthy mackerl tug nicely on 12/15# or whatever its just FUN WITH FRIENDS.  ;D ;D ;D

Nothing real big but a few nice lingcod and halibut.

Thanx Lee,

I saw a link for this @ charkbait, but didnt know if it was worthwhile. Now I do. Charkbaits shipping is a deterant when purchasing low priced items. Thanx for the link.

How far are you from Mark's store?  It's worth a drive to see it, I drive 700 miles to do it....on the way further south.

I think you stop by there on the way home too Lee. Wasn't that you that stopped by the shop on your way home one time and sawed off a wahoo's head and tail in the parking lot so it would fit in Mark's freezer?

Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I had 10 of them and I figured I'd made Mark's crew happy. I made a few other stops on the way home and ended up with this, the rest of the one I cut is there too, can't waste wahoo!!!!

That's a nice stack of 'cordwood' there!  Wahoo is one of the best fish at maintaining quality once frozen.  That being said, if you think you might have a problem earring it up, don't be afraid to try canning a bit.  It keeps forever that way, and makes outstanding winter sandwich fare.

Lightly smoked and canned wahoo is some of the best eating, yellow tail is also good smoked and canned.

How do you can tuna or wahoo?
I'm sure Lee will step in here but the best tutorials I've found for it ire on the Saly Dog subforum of ifish. It is an often talked about topic there.
Canning fish is different than canning fruit. The process requires a high pressure canner and temperatures need to be higher. I've never invested in the equipment but I have used conventional canning methods to can Tuna, it lasts not quite a couple months but it makes FANTASTIC tuna sandwiches. Again, I got the idea from the Salty Dogs
