South Haven 8/20PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went 3 for 4 with Fishwhisperer last night in the Nee Hi. Got a little wet on the way out due to "1' or less" waves(Maybe ' = meters?). Mix of copper, core, dipsy. Spoons and flies, no plug bite. Fished 100' to 145'. Didnt get any takers until 8:30 then they started firing. A double double. 3 kings-6#, 13#, 18#. Fun night as always!

Randy demonstrated that deboning technique and got some tasty looking filets.

any chance of getting an overview of that deboning technique?

[j1musser]

To quote Fishwhipserer and another guy:

Take the fillet and cut it in half. That cut should be made where the first bone is at. Then make to two cut, in the boney fillet, on both sides of the bones. Basically you cut the bones out. You do lose some meat. It 's much easer to show someone than it is to type it out.

If use the pulling them out with pliers method, it helps to put them in the freezer first. Just long enough to firm them up first.

Randy

Make a cut lengthwise on the fillet above the row of bones. It will be angled a littel toward the top of the fish, just feel the bones. This will leave you a "loin" piece seperate from teh main fillet. Then make the same cut below the bones. You will cut out about a 1/4-1/2 inch wide strip of bones that goes back about 2/3 the length of the fish. Much more enjoyable to habe boneless eating. Well worht the small amount of meat lost.

btw You can leave the loin piece attached back near the tail where the bones end if you prefer. personally, I just take it right off.

UP Power

Left basically 3 pieces to each filet. Loin above pin bones, chunk below pin bones, tail section. Lose small portion of meat connected to pinbones if that makes sense. As Randy says easier to show that type.

Surface temp was 73. Radio chatter had the temp break at 80 down. The warm water had the Kings fighting more like Lakers.
