Default Independence Day Eve Trout
went out between showers and working in the yard for a couple of hours on July 3. Managed to get this guy in about 3 feet of water wade fishing. Was good to get some fresh fish for dinner



This is what he looked like after coating with House of Autrey's seafood breading and Panko bread crumbs and releasing in hot peanut oil. The fish paired nicely with some fresh fried okra, tossed salad and lemonade





Happy 4th Everyone

Love Trout. Not a fan of most freshwater fish, but there's something special about Trout. Nice Independence Day meal. Happy 4th Phat and everyone.

Thanks guys, not a monster, but a meal at least. D that s a spotted sea trout also known as a speckled trout or specks. Lotta fun on light tackle. State just passed new regs with a slot limit between 15 to 19 inches and 1 per vessel over. I like to go out on the grass flats in about knee deep water, throw a small live pinfish on a hook in the potholes and wait for a hit. Lotta fun

The okra looked so good I barely noticed the trout

We had some gray trout (weakfish) in our bag over the weekend. We fried them up fresh, pretty good stuff, probably not as good as the specs.
