Can you eat bunker

My buddy took a fresh one and fried it up I suppose you could prepare it in such a way as to make some kind of fish meal or fish cakes but it would take an awful lot of preparation to get it paletable! Not worth the effort IMO. Jaiem ArtsNFlies. If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything. The best time to have planted a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

I had a small container of salted clam that I keep in the freezer, so off we went to the local docks.

The dock itself has long been fenced off to prevent people from gathering there, but you could fish off sections of the parking lot too. Lo and behold, my 4 year old daughter squeaked that something was pulling on her line and she reeled and reeled and reeled it in with all the strength she had in her chubby little arms.

Almost at the same time, my 7 year old shouted that something was on HER line and she also began to reel as quickly as she could.

Up popped two fish that, while the same species, I had no knowledge of. I was expecting some small striped bass or bluefish snappers or even a sea robin or flatfish , but instead, up came the pair with a blunt face and a black dot behind the gills, as if someone painted it with a calligraphy brush.

They depend on the bunker fish for food to survive. The use of bait is the best when fishing the bunker fish. This is because stripers cannot resist their oily scent. Get to use a fresh head and a fish finder rig. Ensure you change the bait after about 20 minutes. Mature bunker fish form large near-surface schools near the ocean shore waters where they live during early spring and throughout winter. During summer the schools differentiate making the older fish move farther to the north.

When winter comes all sizes of the bunker fish migrate south to the waters of the North Carolina Coast. They have a life span of about 12 years. Bunker fish are the most important fish in the sea due to their unending values. They are not consumed directly by humans as they have a lot of oil and are very bony.
