Zuma- I lived in mobile for 10 years. Still get back because the inlaws are in Pascagoula. You have some really talented people in your area in the ways of PA.

Love that fresh fish......Yea.I was down in Gulf shores once back in 2000.Ate shrimp there that was very very good.Lots better than up north here.I'll catch bluegills here in the pond ice fishing.Their pretty good too.

I call em bream but they are a perch with a black dot just behind the gill. They get big as your hand, have lots of bones, and are probably the beat tasting freah water fish.

I have used the whiting heads to catch shark before. You shoukd hook up a head, toss it out, and see what you catch.

Yes that's right sleek.Use wax worms for them in the winter.

Thanks Rob,
Very tasty Eddie.
Howbo, I mostly just spend the winter down here. "Red Neck Riviea"
Bead and sleek, Try some fillets cut into 1"-11/2" chunks. Quickly boil with a
little beer. Cool and dip in drawn butter. Doing some whiting like that tonight.

Ok, im on my way.

I've heard it is an increased iodine level in whiting that gives them their distinctive taste. All I know is they are about my favorite fresh caught ocean fish. What did they hit?

sleek · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2016, 09:36:58 am »

Probably shrip or squid. And if its true, the shrimp diet they have would explain the iodine levels.

Zuma · « **Reply #14 on:** January 16, 2016, 10:54:31 pm »

Very true. Shrimp the fresher the better.
Really strange bitting habits with those buggers. I went back
out the next day and no one caught a single one.
Wind direction??
