jerryadams Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Went out on Saturday with my home made electric reel and caught 3 gem fish and 2 cods. Does anyone know if either fish should be bled? I'll be adding picks of the reel on here and the work shop forum tomorrow.

robust Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Went out on Saturday with my home made electric reel and caught 3 gem fish and 2 cods. Does anyone know if either fish should be bled? G'day Jerry, from my previous experience in the seafood game blue eye is best preserved by heading and gutting immediately after catching.

mako1 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nice fish mate. Its good to see that the gemmies have slowed down a bit giving the blue eye a chance to grab the bait. We usually bleed the fish and keep it as cool as possible after capture. They are all beautiful eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin01 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Nice fish and very unique reel!! I dont think any fish will not benifit from immediate bleeding and icing down. We bleed all fish to be kept and within minutes ice them down. Cheers Marlin01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
