Thank you for the report!!

We always release Trigs,,, not sure why.... but we do.

?

How far up into the bay will you find these fish?

I catch them primarily in "the inlet area" of shinnecock as well as out out on the reef. I've heard stories of them being caught near the bridge pilings.
Never caught them in the open bay though

I was wondering if they come as far as smith point bridge,only one way to find out I guess..

I would definitely give it a shot there.
I fish for them with the same style rigs I use for porgies or sea bass. Clam on 2/0 - 4/0 bait holders on high low rigs with a bank sinker at the bottom

Around the rocks, any docks, buoy chains, but usually very close to an inlet.

They are wonderful on dinner plate.

They have tougher skin than a blackfish. So here is some help. Good luck and good eating!

He makes it look easy..

That some skill there.(y)

The real key to filleting them is having a super sharp edge on your knife. As others have said, their skin is super thick and tough, no scales...

Chinacat,

You said it. And be ready to sharpen after a couple of them.
