    I brain spike (ike jime) and then bleed all eating fish on charter. They go into a tub to bleed out then into ice in the esky.

    Kevin Nugget,

    Smithy is on it, bleed all my reefies in a seperate bin then transfer to the ice. Fillet them and leave in salt water and once rinsed in salt pack and freeze.

    Great snaps in the pics guy's, well done
