Blue, I think culling is against the law in FL. I can't keep up with all the new game laws. I just like to keep the fish fresh in the livewell, some days the fish don't cooperate so if we don't catch a good mess we can release one or two live fish without harm and never bloody the knife.
The shrimp stay alive on ice for 4 or 5 hours, if the fish cooperate, you have your keepers in 30 minutes and the rest of the day is catch and release. We are only allowed 1 snook in the slot, 1 redfish in the slot and 5 specks in the slot per person. Snapper laws are more complicated. My routine changes with whatever species I am targeting.
I know that aquariums works pretty well so I would not be interested in the fuel bill for Reel.LOL Dinner is my way of hedging the bet;) I need to Google gizzard shad, never heard of them..
Come on down to Fl and I will buy dinner and drinks and we can test theory while catching a few.
Let the C-notes fly..
