Kdavis These guys have you on the right track Your trip time should be a good time for Spanish and Blues on artificial baits primarily bubble rigs I too love to catch fish on artificial and you'll have the time of your life with a bubble rig and a schools of Spanish and Blues Get out there at daylight and you shouldn't be disappointed I've been hanging back as it's just too hot for me now and I've been working on a new condo but I'll be out there during your trip and will be glad to help you Almost can guarantee we'll fill your cooler Last September I limited on Spanish mackerel 17 days in a row and was home by 8:30 You should have a great time Looking forward to fishing with you I'm excited for you for I know what's in store for you

Dan S II, that's awesome news!! I can't wait. Ill have to look you up when I get down there and we go. I'd love to fish with you that'll be fun.

In spite of what you might hear those Blues can be pretty good eating. I personally slice open their belly as soon as I catch one and thow it in a bucket of salt water to bleed for about 10 minutes. I then move it to the ice chest and make sure it is thoroughly chilled before I filet it. This process causes what blood remains in the fish to coalesce along the outer side of the filet next to the skin in a narrow strip the lenght of the filet. I slice out that blood strip and dispose of it. I have had many people tell me they did not like Blues but when trying some that I had cleaned in this manner they admitted it to be pretty good. I bake or fry the filets.
