Micro Skipjack

I've never caught more than a couple skipjack this small. We had 66 in the cooler and only fished for them for an hour and 15 minutes. If I'd had any small bream jigs, or could have boated every one that was hooked, we'd have had 100's in the cooler. If I'd have had a cast net we'd have filled the cooler. I put 10 per quart bag in the freezer. Some are as small as 4" long. The biggest ones are maybe 7-8" long. Most are 6" long. Out of the 66, maybe 10 had the hook in their mouth. Most we foul hooked in the eyes. They'd just swipe at the Foley spoon as it came by.

Good bait for cats and most anything else in the water. A good size for my liking. Good catch!

Neat!!

Thanks. I’d prefer them much larger but you gotta take what’s there I guess

trypman, we caught a few that were around 4” long. I’d like to have some of those alive to drop on some deep structure

Cut their heads off ! Get some hot sauce ! you could have had fresh sardines!:Rofl
