I was very impressed. There were just as many when we left as there were when we arrived, maybe more. The screen kept showing more and more pulling 8-12 right to the surface when we reeled one in. Thats a very heathly unexploited fishery.I still have no idea why 95% of Mainers consider YP trash fish
Drop some off at my house...
Hey Doug, I may be able to find market for them. Volume and regular supply would be the issue, along with transport. Might be fun to work on it! Are they “clean” ie grub free? Please, if possible let me know where I can geo on them. Might be a new hard water destination. Might take a day off this summer to whack a few. Gonna try my little MDI spot this week, when the tides come around.
i knew a guy scared of those black speck grubs. he used a syringe(from his turkey injector), without needle on it, to suck the specks out of the meat. then and only then would he eat it. lol those are some nice perch. be trophies around here.
A commercial harvest should help the brookie population within the watershed. From what I saw 2-3 guys should have no problem boating 4-500 lbs a day of YP 9-12" with 10% 13-14"
