This is my 2nd opportunity in the last 2 weeks to go with my guide buddy and scout for them. The last time, I filleted them and put them in the freezer. This time, I really wanted to eat some fresh, don't get any better. Probably my last opportunity to go catch some until maybe next year, but we really enjoyed these...That really does make my mouth water.
Jeff, the water temp is around 57℉ and these were firm and delicious. Really wish I had another chance to go, but my own fishing is really firing up, so probably my last chance this year...Dang man so jealous of both the fishing and the eating!! So good this time of year out of cold water too.
Thanks Eric. The chef always has to do quality control...Great catch and fry. Half of those would have never made the table
It was salad and homemade onion rings this time, but maybe next time...Was gonna ask when the fish fry was...? Looks like I missed it. A little slaw and some jalapeno hush puppies and I'd be a fat happy boy!

The boat is a 23' aluminum Starcraft that my buddy gutted and rebuilt the way he wanted. It has a big open area at the stern and it fishes really well...Nice! Looks like a big boat! I gotta have a fry soon
I'd be all over that too.It was salad and homemade onion rings this time, but maybe next time...![]()
