Waded the n side of bird island today with my good friend Mark. We fished a school of birds that were picking up small ribbon fish chased up by reds. All the reds were around 25" 26", also the jack carvelle were thick and I lost 2 corky' hooking up on jacks.

Those Jacks are a challenge on light tackle, good job! I read that you can eat them if prepared correctly. Would like to know if anyone has tried them.FishwhispererComment

Before I knew any better we ate some, & it was pretty damn good (not as good as reds & trout). We cut the tail and behing the gill plate then threw it into a ice/salt/water slurry to bleed out.
Took the whole side filets, skin on. Placed on foil w/ butter, Tony's, bell pepper, onion & some pepper. Threw it on the grill for a bit & it came out nice.
Next I will let you know how we cook hardheads....
....uh, NO!Comment

hard heads are cooked the same way with a little difference. Bleed them out, fillet and place on foil. Salt, pepper, garlic, butter, onions and bell pepper. Throw on the grill a bit. When finished cooking, throw away the fish and eat the FOIL. Not too bad.Comment
