We fished the dyke two days in a row, 2 man limit each day. There wasn't anyone around us at all. We used spreaders no bling, right off the bottom. Size was 7-12 inch perch. Sheephead seemed to be and issues for a while. We got most our limit in about an hour when we seemed to be over some kind of structure. Total time 4:30-8 (including trip back to dock)
glad you got them

Take 1/2 cup of regular laundry bleach and about one gallon of hot tap water and mix, (I do this in the kitchen sink) wash and then soak hands in this mixture for just a few minutes and rinse with plain water until the slime/slippery feeling is gone. Do this in a slow relaxed way so you do not splash the mixture into your eyes or on your clothes. It draws out all of the hurt and sanitizes the cuts and punctures (kills the bacteria) caused by the fins and gill plates while removing and then counting those perch. It is amazing how well this works in relieving the soreness!Quote:

Washing your hands in and working in the mixture gets that mixture in most of the nicks, scrapes, punctures and cuts. Some of the bigger or the most sore may take a few hours to stop being sore. The sooner you get this done after fishing or fish cleaning the faster and better it works.Quote:

Your hands will probably be all or mostly all healed in 48hrs or less as long as you don't have any deeper cuts, but they will be bearable and not sore if not totally healed. This works well for paper cuts and cuts from your fishing line also. Let us know how you like this way for sanitizing your hands after fishing.Quote:

Looks like a really nice bunch of perch, you and your crews were well rewarded for all the work involved searching them out. Good job!Quote:
