Thread: A boat load of fish, and now I need your help.

We went out on the head boat, my fishing buddy, Ron, my college wrestling team mate. Larry, and I filled out on B-Liners. The boat had 30 people on it and caught 300 B-liners. It also caught 320 for 34 people on Weds. The boat also caught a short cobia and and a few short flounder. I and another guy caught a sea robin, a very pretty fish. Now I need to know where we can sharp freeze these fish and ship them home. Larry is flying back to WI. and would like to take some of these great tasting fish back with him. I was using a double twisted drop loop rig and caught 2 B-Liners at one time, two different times. It was a great day, thank the Lord!

​I don't know where to take your fish to freeze, but we are coming down next week and I would sure like to know which boat you were on. We may go out.

We always go out of the Reel Surprise Charters, $65, $65, $50, and the forth trip is free, in Orange Beech, by the Perdido Pass Bridge. No lisc. needed. I always use my own equipment, but they supple the rods, reels, tackle & bait. It's a good deal. We were out on the Gulf Winds II, the Capt. was Lenny, the most important link, because the Capt. puts you on the fish, and the boat boys were Derek & Preston. A very good crew.

How much tip should be given to the hands

We usually give them $10 from each of us.

Thanks that I thought but I hated to look like an a$$

Flyguy my daughter just got some Omaha steaks shipped to her last week in a white cooler box loaded with dry ice.Maybe check around town to see where you could get your own dry ice and buy a styrofoam cooler and check place to get it shipped for you.
Or you could call 251 949 6288 that is Billy's seafood they ship Gulf seafood that they catch around the USA.They ship seafood Everywhere just not sure if they could ship your catch.Hope this helps. Tom

Flyguy found another number 251 948 8456 called Gulf Shores Seafood they ship seafood.

We went down to Blalocks fish market in OB, picked up a cooler, freeze pack ice, & some freezer zip lock bags, wrapped the fish in plastic wrap, put them in the zip locks, then in the cooler and they are going to fly them home with their luggage. I think it will work. Thanks for the help.

I bring home fish on a plane all the time from the Keys. When I use Ice I double bag it so it won't leak. I also put several smaller bags of fish in a larger second zip bag so they don't leak too.
When tipping on a boat, it is just like a restaurant, tip 20% and you will be good to go.
