not the guy from work.... he's talking about trout by the river before work....... I guess he guts them by the shore, but takes the stuff with him in a bag...... someone gave him a hard time about gutting them etc........ but he would rather do it there and bring the remains with him to throw in the garbage i guess.....

Very often you'll find the remainders of fish at Seaside Park. People like to gut them and fillet them right there and keep them laying on the road and rocks.
If bluefish were to grow as big as giant bluefins, then there would be nothing left out there except for blues!

If it gets trown in the water it`s where it belongs, leaving it on shore should warrant a ticket.....Alot of critters live on that stuff, the hell with the snobs....
When I come home stinking like fish, I know I`ve had a good day....

That's my feelings also, it's natures way.
