Mess of fish

[Jogeephus]

We celebrated our first rain in several months by knocking off and cleaning and eating these boys for lunch. I was thankful for both the fish and the rain both were excellent. :lol:

PS That one big ole trout would sure look good in my fryin pan

Now would that be a couple walleye on the bottom and some type of crappie or perch above? ( Glad the steel was in there for a size reference :lol: ).

Haven't fished much lately, but it is something I gotta make time to get back at.

Glad you got some rain, and I'll bet you enjoyed those fish!

Not very fond of sheepshead. But the colored folks around here eat the heck out of them. Reckon if I wasn't havin any luck and had a serious hankerin for fried fish I'd filet em though. The big one a gator trout?

Im thinking the two bottom ones are sand or speckled trout,and the others are sheephead ? I could be wrong tho,been a while since I caught any...........still good lookin fish.............good luck

 

[Gate Opener]

Okay great, now I'm hungry for fish.

 

[Beefy]

speckled trout me thinks.

got about 2 inches here. the rye is kicking butt and taking names.

 

[Jogeephus]

Speckled trout and sheephead. Neighbor came back with a 48 quart ice chest full and let us have those. Never had sheephead before. Soaked them in ice water for a bit and then cooked them. Most everyone liked them. Might say something about my bloodline.

Specks are good have to draw the line on the convicts.

No offense. Just such a choice around here we've gotten spoiled. But a fish fryin of any kind is a good thing. Heck I even love a batch of fried mullet when they are fresh.

 

[Jogeephus]

Since 1994, mullet has been kinda scarce. We used to eat it all the time but the net law did a number on a lot of people. Still get some fresh ones on occassion but not like we used to. I like mullet sandwiches but like you say, any fish is good if it is prepared right.

Did they do away with using Cast Nets?

I like fresh mullet myself. A lot. Used to go down to Moblie Bay and Gulf Shores and swing those nets.

 

[Jogeephus]

No, you can still do that but the commercial netters got pushed out. They supplied a lot of fish to us in this area. You can still catch em with a hook or a throw net.
