Might find this interesting, Especially the information on barracuda migration.

Negative. Very few bones. Take a (very - not difficult) little care in separating the side bones, what few they are, and fillet as you would any other fish. We had the rest of him (the first half grilled a few nights ago) tonight, fried, lightly breaded (no milk, just bread crumbs pressed onto the flesh), and it's just marvelous. Folks are scared of barry due to ciguatera - but last year, the folks on Cat Island, where we'd caught our first on the way into the Bight, told us that anything on the lee side (no reefs), of any size, they'll eat. Other sources say that if it's under 30 inches, it won't have had enough time to eat enough reef fish to be dangerous. So, given that they're very territorial (and therefor don't travel all that far), we'll eat one if we've caught it many miles from any reef. So far, that's the only sort we've caught. Delicious, firm but flaky, grilled or fried, and will take nearly any lure, but we've had the best luck with a simple cedar plug. YMMV, we're not doctors...

Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated by your friends."- James S.
