Fishing Update

:clap:

However, the highlight so far has been a 20# king mackerel my little brother caught this morning while drifting a cigar minnow. THe giant fish almost towed him out to sea (any mackerel recipes anybody?).

I cooked Mackerel for lunch today. Yummy.

I add an egg, a little oil, 1.5 cups of flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, some finely chopped onions and or peppers, a touch of lemon juice, to finely chopped pieces of Mackerel (about 3/4 to 1 pound). Mix it all together and shape into 4-5 oz patties, then fry in a skillet with a little bit of vegetable oil. Make sure the oil is hot before placing fish in pan. Cook on each side until golden brown. Serve on a bun with some remoulade or sauce of your choice. Also holds up nicely to BBQ sauce. Yummy!

thanks for the tips. 20# king mackerel.

That is a beautiful fish!!!!:clap: :clap: :clap:

Holy Mackerel!!!:clap:

Add a few cracker crumbs to this and you've got Mom's salmon (Mackeral, whatever) patties.

MMMMMMMMMM, Good eatin'!!!😀 😀 😀

I love to cook. Let's do it, but keep the guest list manageable because I'm no professional chef. I'm thinking like eight people as a max.

As for that recipe above, seaside, try using some Corn Flakes rather than crackers. ;-)

HHHHMMMM Bring me some Mack to Memphis and we're on!!!

I had several bites today. We caught several Ramora which only used up our bait. Any suggestions on how to get away from ramora?

add a 5# spanish to the list. pic coming soon

Hi Aubrey:

If the Ramoras are still bothering you tomorrow, you may want to try trolling with artificial bait. We've got these rigs called a "Mackeral Tree" that sell for $3.49. It's a rig with four bright, flashy gold tied hooks, imitating a school of baitfish. Trash fish don't seem to care for it but the kings are attracted to it. We stock them at both stores.

Best regards,

I think Kurt could make this a whole new segment......fishing on the gulf! man that was a big fish!:yikes:

fisher dudes that is so bad a*s that you caught those kayaking. me and my buddy landed a 35# redfish off the bar this spring in a yak - whew what fun that is. rock on and keep it coming! i think i will start posting my fishing trips here now too - never really checked out this section of sowal.

well, here is my first report.
i live around point washington and launch my craft there at that sorry excuse for a boat ramp - but it works.
went on a little eco tour with an out of town guest and had a great experience viewing a baby osprey and momma in the nest and momma was giving baby flying lessons - wow was that cool!!.

fished the river mouths with a cork and grub and got some small trout and catfish. but the coolest part of the trip was a quick stop on the way back in at the entrance to the intracoastal. the tide was rollin out and the wind was howling against the tide from the west and a wicked rip line formed and was FULLLLL of bait and birds divin - well - several casts with a ml top dog skittered fast yielded a couple of wildly acrobatic lady fish - decent sizes too. then slammed a beautiful gator trout - big old yellow mouth and dark spots. i don't own a boga grip yet but it was around 3-4# - NICE FISH!!

till next time

CATCH EM UP!!!!!!
