WHAT FISH CAN I KEEP?


I feel strongly that God put fish here for food and I my self enjoy eating them but in a  responsible  way. That means if you have fish in the freezer or don’t really plan on eating them then let them go! To me “fresh fish only” and that is why I catch and release most of my fish. Having said that I truly enjoy being apart of catching a fresh fish dinner and any fish that is legal to keep I will be glad to fillet them and pack on ice.
