  • From 10/10/20, Barnegat Light - Long Beach Island
    Was searching for Striped Bass, but on the two dead ticks kept picking up Puffer Fish on clam. Last time I caught these, I kept throwing them back......but after reading the comments on UA-cam, IG, and just talking to people on the beach (like in the video), decided to give it a shot. Turned out to be the easiest, and one of the most tasty fish I've ever had!

      Try the pier on the southwest corner of the Manatoloking Bridge. Bring at least one chum pot & chum heavily. Use small pieces of clam for bait. You can buy blowfish rigs at Gabriel’s. Another good spot is the bulkhead west of Barnegat Light by the parking lot.

    I grew up in a Philly Tackle Shop. I remember Oltimers tell'n stories. Now I'm one telling you. In the 60's we rented rowboats and fished out of Waretown. Three adults and two kids (Me @ 12). We caught them two at a time all day. Took home about 250. When we got back to Philly, each family went home with 40->50. Most fisherman felt they were trash & pests.

      When I visted Jersey as a kid, I remember they would have hooks on a fillet table at the docs. (Kinda reminded me of a horizontal bottle opener)
      Fisherman were using these hook like the guy in the video used his fork.

    Hey man, nice video! I live in NJ and love fishing. Where can you fins the regulations on pufferfish? I've never seen anything about seasons / keeping them but lmk! Curious if this will apply to other lesser known fish as well

    • @FromtheSurfNJ
      @FromtheSurfNJ  3 роки тому +1

      I don’t believe there are any regulations. Now that I know I’m never tossing a big one back!

    I haven't seen many YTube videos featuring blowfish and always wondered why .... They are a joy to catch...easy to clean and flat out delicious!!!
    As a kid we called them fish legs because after cleaning you are left with a pc of meat that looks like a chicken leg........

  • @ERICKOLET
    @ERICKOLET 3 роки тому

    Tried that spot yesterday. Nothing . What was your bait? Also, turn your fork the other way when skinning. Much easier.

  • @stateniland

    Blowfish used to be soo plentiful...and soo easy to clean and eat.. cut off the head completely.. turn the tail meat inside out.. the only bone you have is one that runs down the middle of the tail meat.. once cooked you just break 2 solid chunks of solid meat off that 1 center bone.. I love them breaded and fried! The only problem is finding them these days.
    As a kid in the 60's we would come home with a bucket full of Large blowfish. Not so today.

      Yep, 30 years ago i remember catching plenty in the bay. (Can't remember witch one) but hardly ever off the coast.

    Pro Tip: Grab it by the tail and eat it like a wing! I sometimes cut the meat off the bone for 'boneless wings.'

    When I was a kid working on the party boats I'd run around the boat collecting the blowfish for the weeks lunch. They are the best eating fish (next to striper) going. It helps to have non-slip gloves.

      Fluke and FLouder are tops too. I also like the snapper blues and bluefish beside Stripers of course. As kids we would fish 14Th Street pier in Barnaget Bay in Seaside Park and catch a mess of snapper blues and blowfish and my buddies mom would fry them all up for us kids with Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt for us to sprinkle on them.

    How does everyone catch these things? I tried every method and used all my time to try to catch these things but no matter what I do I can’t get one, I went chumming, used salted clam and only caught 6 dogfish and a horseshoe crab along with almost catching a fluke, but thanks to overfishing, I have now realized fishing is a waste of time and only the UA-camrs get to catch them because they always get what they want. I am at my limit because no one is willing to help me catch blowfish

    All pufferfish are poisonous, all of them contain the tetrodotoxin including the blowfish here in NJ. They are not specific to Japan, they are a delicacy in Japan. They are also banned in majority of the US. Florida has a ban of harvesting due to the persistent toxicity on the east coast.
