I used to set 7" nets at Pipe Spit about a mile out, 300 feet long and get 80-200 a haul. We built ice block houses and cached them there untill we could get them all home.

Sometimes we fillet a few out there, if they are fat and keep them in the freezer for immediate eating, or just handsaw steaks fromthe pile in the cache'.

when we got out of dogs, we dint have to fish nearly as much, so we mostly catch a few and be happy.

The fish paddys sound cool, Mainer, and as to back bones, my wife hatchet chops the frozen ones along the back bones, tward the belly and chunks them up for the dogs that way, before cooking. Seems to keep the backbone blues away
We also give raw , though fermented, whitefish to them as well, as the fermentation has all the parasites dead.

We also boil out the fats and make fish oil, which is pretty damn good with frozen fish




Mmmmmm Mmmmmmm good.
