What kind of knives do you guys use? I'm looking to buy a quality knife that will not cost me an arm and a leg. Probaly around 20 to 50 bucks range.

Looking to use it to fillet fish for cut bait and other utilitarian means...

All purpose knife for fishing, camping and etc...

Thanks, I appreciate all the inputs!

For fishing you will need two knives - One for filleting and one for cutting baitfish into steaks for chunks.

I'll keep an eye out for you - I got mine at a thrift market (Salvation Army type) for $.50.

Haa haa...

I got one of those cheap ones too... maybe spending 20plus bucks on a knife I will probaly hit over the pier is an overkill.

Jang..

You could always do what I did in the past - Get to Matapeake real early in the morning and scrounge around! Found two fillet knives and enough sinkers to last for a couple of years.

Hey Sancrab,

Can I see your collection of knives? I think you probaly have couple of mine...

 

[TRIGGERFISH]

jw- I just talked to the suooly man and he'll be getten some more by next week,so I'll get you two if I can.

Finders Keepers. No really - I got a real nice knife for cutting baitfish steaks at the local thrift store. This knife should be serrated (for cutting through the bone) and the fillet knife should not.

thanks triggerfish!

knife

I use a $5 kitchen knife in asheath made of PVC that I heated and flatened. Cheap and durable. Don't have a fillet knife as mine was stolen out of my truck, I will likely get a dexter-russel commerical one with sheath for about $25 from a resturant supply place or Boater's world.
