    Depends on how hungry I am...

    But seriously, usually I just cut off the head and pull the gut line. My wife won't eat them with them on and in.

    Saw this post and tried Huntington last night. Ended up with only 11 grunion between 2 people. There was no visible moon last night so maybe that is why the run was poor? Still, those were the first ones we have ever caught and it was a lot of fun chasing them down. Thanks for the heads up about the run. Also, grunion look a lot like smelt, I catch those a lot in the bay for bait, is it just another name for smelt?
