NICE! Where you'd go out of? Drifting or trolling? I'm running out of West Harbor.

Are you just launching at Beaver, or are you docked there? When I had a dock, I was at Romp's, now I just hit the public launches.

I see you're frying them. Have you ever just done them skin-side down on the grill?

im docked there. i was going to just hit public launches this year but the first trip to hotwaters resulted in me coming back to my trailer to find all my wires cut and my winch tied in a knot.

so i put it back in a slip and im happy i did, ive only had to run a few miles to be into the eyes all year... hopefully it stays that way.... the fewer trips to the buoy or the sand bar the better

those were pan fried with a lot of seasoning and a little bread crumbs... pan frying is my favorite, i rarely deep fry. my dad always talks about cooking them on the grill the way you mentioned but i have yet to try it

ive also been told to try boiling them, i guess they almost taste like lobster when boiled. havent tried that yet, ever hear of boiling them?
