Default TODAYS CATCH 6/12/07 (W/PICS!)

well, all in all i guess we made a day out of it. we had three trout up to the boat that were lost. missed about 15 hits witch could've been any kind of fish. landed 6 sharks that were all undersized, 2 undersized redfish, 3 gaph tops, 7 trout- (the reason you only see 6 is because we left one in the ice chest on accident) and a jack. my middle son that you see in the pic caught the biggest speck! ;D

Naw dragon, save him for shark bait - really! *The surf fishing guys that target sharks use the jacks alot with good results *;) I don't shark fish but from the sound of your reports I take it you do?

Also Stink, careful calling bonita trash fish - its false albacore that you are talking about. *Looks very similar to bonita but false albies are terrible on the table and bonita is excellent! * *;)

Yeah, JACK CREVALLE is pretty rough. I've tried smokin it, frying it, and baking it. I've blead it and soaked it, marinated the crap out of it. Still couldn't stomach it.

Nice day of fishing.

Sounds like Jack's are good crab bait.

Jacks make good cut bait.Strip out the meat and salt the meat side with kosher salt then pack away in vacuum bags. If you insist on eating them try this;
Rub the felit with good extra virgin olive oil.
Liberally coat with salt,pepper Old Bay seasoning.
Place on a soaked Cedar plank over good hot coals, cover and let smoke for 30 minutes.
Take the plank off the grill, throw the fish in the garbage and eat the plank. ;D :D ;D :D ;D
