Murrells Inlet Fishing Report for 2/19 - 2/21/2009

I emptied the stomachs on some of the fish. I see now why mahi are the fastest growing fish in the sea. One of them had a 12" flying fish and five 8 in. cigar minnows inside. I found a snelled hook and some heavy mono inside one of the kings...wedged against the anal opening. Surprised it made it that far! Also surprised he got fooled twice! All the kings I checked had menhaden and cigars inside. Very cool!

i like the hook story on the king, yes those mahi sure grow fast, probably the most fun i have had was fishing for the p-nut dolphins with speckle trout rigs.

Those fish kebabs look mighty tasty. Did you do both the mackerel and the Mahi?

[Blue_Runner]

Yep, did both the king and the mahi on the kabobs....of course there was a noticeable difference with the mahi being much better.

I steaked the kings, then cut each of the 4 round circlular pieces of meat out, which looks kinda like scallops such that they were boneless and skinless. I used old bay seafood seasoning, salt, pepper, and melted butter with fresh squeezed lemon juice. I wrapped some of the meat in bacon and strategically placed onions and peppers. They were really good.
