I'm surprised no one has talked about how to take care of the fish your planning on eating. My guess is that the people who are planning to eat their catch take better care of their fish. Lots of ice, cleaned as soon as possible and more ice. The Fish that have been talked about here (bass, trout, perch) that smells or taste fishy hasn't been well taken care of.

Don't know how much help this will be. My boat is slow also. I spend most of my time trolling. Launched at govt was last Thursday at dawn. We trolled towards boxcar cove, I was using rattle traps and my buddy using rapalas. We stayed close to shore and fished the small inlets with swimbaits. Between the two of us we brought 8 stripers and 1 small mouth home. We were back to govt wash before noon.
