CHAPTER 1
DEEP SEA FISHING:TIPS ON
CONSERVING YOUR CATCH
So what is it exactly that you do with the fish you catch? Forsome, they abide the philosophy of keeping enough for theirmeal and releasing the rest. The best fish would be the freshest
ones. Even though you"re not into cooking them yourselves, alot of local restaurants can offer you preparations for a fresh
catch meal. Sitting down on a meal of fish that you just caught
would be the perfect ending for one great fishing day. Mostconsider it to be one of the most satisfying things to do that
anyone can accomplish!
Why Conserve?
Fish is a renewable resource. Thus, proper management andtechniques are needed to ensure their survival and the
abundance of the resource for the future generations. In fact,overfished stocks would require years of regulatory actions and
monitoring to restore its fishery level into one that is self-sufficient and self-sustaining.
Additionally, for every year that passes, there seems to be morerestrictions in regards to the recreational bags. Even size limits
are imposed. All of these due to the occurrence of overfishingwhich is in consequence of improved technology.

The Solution
Practicing the habit of catch and release is actually one of theways in which recreational anglers like you could help ensure the
health and prosperity of the future fisheries. In this way, you can
also guarantee everybody's opportunity to have a fun day ofdeep sea fishing that is concluded with a scrumptious andsatisfying meal.
Here are some of the ways in which you can help ensure survival
of the fish that you release and get some satisfaction byreturning your catch to its environment.
Get Your Tackle Right
First off you should make sure that your tackle matches the fishyou"re targeting. Although it may not seem obvious, doing this
can ensure its safety once you release it back into the waters. Ifyour tackle is too light, it would be exhausted by the momentyou land it. Thus due to its exhaustion, it could be a very easy
target for predators when release it back to the waters; since itcouldn't swim that fast anymore.
Customize Your Hook
Customizing your hook is yet another way to conserve yourcatch. By simply using a pair of pliers, you can mash down yourhook's barb. Doing this would enable you for an easier release ofthe catch and better safety on its side. Another great addition to
the terminal tackle you"ll be doing would be circle hooks. When
the catch swallows the hook, all you have to do is cut the line
closely as you can to your hook, then release your catch asquickly as you can.
Don't Suffocate It
As much as possible, while releasing your catch leave it in the
water. If there is no choice but to handle it out of the water,
then be sure that you wet your hands. You should do this to

settlement of Europeans. To experience noodling you must plan
a trip south to Arkansas, North Carolina or Mississippi. Duringthe Depression, it was rumored grabbling became popular as a
rapid and inexpensive manner of providing food for the family.Today, grabbling as a means of fishing for flathead, channel and
blue catfish is mainly for entertainment, as most grabblers
practice catch-and-release.
From late May to July, when the days lengthen and water
temperatures become warmer, catfish seek out shallow water to
lay their eggs. Sheltered secluded locations are preferred such
as boat ramps, holes in rocks and sandbanks. Once the femalecatfish lays her eggs, she departs the nest, leaving the male
catfish to guard the eggs and keep them aerated. The male will
not leave the nest until the baby catfish are ready to leave as
well. Catfish are very aggressive during spawning season. Forthis reason, care must be taken to avoid becoming victim to thataggression when noodling.
Locate bedding catfish by running your bare hands along theriver bottom in search of an opening. For a bottom-feeding fish,
the catfish is rather clean and delicate. Openings are easy to findbecause the catfish will continue to clear its home and area.Some experienced grabblers plan their trips during the winterwhen water levels are low, where it is possible to see potentialhideaways that will soon be submerged. They then return to
these locations during spawning season.
An angry growling sound, described by some as a thump, letsyou know you have located your prey. Submerging yourself is
required for a good portion of the grabbling expedition; clearly,
the longer you are able to hold your breath, the easier it is to
grabble. Once a spawning location has been identified, use a bigstick to guide the catfish out of the nest to within arms reach.
Now knowing where your prey is, place your hand withoutstretched fingers into the hole. The catfish will quickly
become angered at your intrusion and will strike out, either
hitting your hand or grabbing your hand while biting it with its
mouth. He may clamp on to your hand and attempt to pull you

into the hole, hence the need for additional assistance when
attempting grabbling. Once he bites, grab him with both handson his lower jaw, wrap your legs around him if necessary and
pull him completely out of the water. Twisting and rolling is sureto ensue, but perseverance will ensure your victory.
Clearly, noodling is not an experience everyone will enjoy,least of all those who are faint at heart, and injury is always apossibility. For some, the pasta-cooking scenario may be much
more preferable. But for a hands-on fishing experience that
anyone from the young to the elderly can delight in, there is
nothing quite comparable.
CHAPTER3
FRESH CAUGHT FISH COOKING
PREPARATION?
o maintain the delicate flavor of a newly caught
freshwater or saltwater fish, this must be handled
properly to avoid spoilage. Not to mention preservingthe fish with pleasing odor. There are ways to properly prepare
and maintain the quality just after the catch of the fish into asumptuous fishmeal. Check out the tips below:
1) As soon as the fish lands avoid any contact with hard surfacesto prevent bruising. It should be washed immediately by hosingor bucket rinsing in order to remove the slime and possible
bacteria that cause spoilage. Never use water from closeproximity marinas, municipal or industrial discharges. To make
sure, always use potable water instead.
2) Simply chill the fish to prevent deterioration in less than an

hour. With a little advance planning, proper icing can be
accomplished with the use of some relatively cheap equipment.Fish should be stored in coolers and should be well chilled. It
should be 3" deep, thus, covering a pound of fish with pound ofice. Use chlorinated water per quart of water for the final
rinsing.
3) Clean the fish as soon as possible. Their tissues are sterilebut not their scales, which contains many types of bacteria.
When cleaning fish, avoid rough treatment because wounds in
the flesh can allow the spread of bacteria. Gutting the fish does
not have to be necessarily long. It is wise to cut the belly, as itleaves no blood or viscera in the body. Make sure not to soak
cleaned fish fillets in a prolonged freshwater as this could reduce
the meat texture and flavor.
4) The eating quality and nutritional value of fish can bemaintained up to 5 days if properly cleaned. Washing of the
hands before touching the fish is also important. No matter whatfish and the cooking technique used, one golden rule is to befollowed always. Whether it is whole or not, cook exactly 10
minutes for every inch measured. 15 minutes should be allottedto fish enclosed in foil or sauce baked. Double the time forfrozen fish.
Allow extra time if fish will be baked while packed in an
aluminum foil and allow extra time for the penetration of theheat. That should be an additional 5 minutes for fresh fish and10 for frozen. In thawing frozen fish, slowly thaw in the fridgefor 24 hours or let the wrapped fish be run under cold water not
at room temperature. Do not thaw a fish that's frozen before
cooking as it may make it mushy and dry.

CHAPTER4
COOKING YOUR CAUGHT FISH
TO PERFECTION
Breading and frying a freshly caught fish is as good as it
gets. The smell of butter emanating from the frying pan and the
flair a fisherman puts in flipping his catch is worth its weight in
gold, almost. For the novice fisherman, make sure that thebutter is extra hot but not yet burning. Also, make sure that the
fish is well coated in batter. Season your batter to your heart'scontent, salt and pepper never goes wrong. You may want to try
other herbs and spices with the batter for a more delicious fish.
2.Grilling
At first glance, grilling would seem to be the easiest way tohandle your fish. A newbie might assume that grilling fish is the
same as grilling steaks or burgers. Unlike fowl or cattle, fish
tends to secret most of its own juices when cooked. On a grillthe delicious juice drips into the coals.
To prevent losing the moisture, first coat the fish with oil. The oil
will seal a part of the moisture inside. Second, keep an eye onthe fillets and turn them as soon as a cut would reveal that the
fresh fish is cooked halfway through. After being flipped, watchthe fish carefully. Remove the fish as soon as it is cooked
through.
An option to basting the fish with oil is to wrap it in aluminum
foil. The aluminum foil will keep the moisture and marinate the
-

COOKING YOUR OWN CATCH
COOKING SECRETS FOR FRESHLY CAUGHT FISH
PAGE11
fish in its own moisture. Placing herbs and spices inside the foil
with the fish enhances the grilling process and the fish itself.
3. Baking
Baking is the best option for the fisherman who does not want to
watch over the fish during cooking. The fisherman can preparethe marinade and pre-heat the oven, then pop the fish into theoven for a predetermined amount of time. You may want to
check on the fish from the time to time, ensuring that you don't
overcook the fish.
Whatever fish you caught, a good recipe and proper cooking will
for sure enhance the catch. Take time to prepare for cooking, a
badly cooked fish will no doubt spoil your day. Remember the
first rule of cooking, don't overcook your fish.
In the following chapter you will learn some simple, yet definitely
delicious catfish recipes.
