Much better fishing today, the bite was hot for a couple hours then it just died when the wind kicked up. Put 65 in the box threw many back.

They are cleaned and cooking already but you just cut behind the head through the spine then just turn their body inside out. Probably can YouTube it . You get two piece a little bigger then store bought fish sticks.

Nice puff beat down

this is how Ive been doing it and it makes quick work of them. Especially when you get in to good numbers. I use a serrated knife. I just cut the fins off with scissors and scampi them or treat them like a drum stick , brown in butter and toss them in buffalo sauce

What was the general area that you got them? 

[rgw]

Over by the old power plant at oyster creek

No not worth it leave them alone. Plus they're poisonous.

I used to catch a dozen or more of those in crab traps in oyster creek. Definitely a lot of them in there.
