Post by: Jtilley on May 25, 2011, 12:14:00 am
Had a great week fishing with my three boys and my Father-in-law at obx last week, caught a bunch of 10- 15lb blues, had a blast. ( I know this isn't archery related, just wanted to share.... :) )

That's a dang nice haul of blues.  This is the first year in a while that we haven't gone down to the OBX that same week (got a son in kindergarden now).  I get to go the week of the 4th with every dang body else this year.  It's all good, though, I love that place.

OBX is an abreviation for The Outer Banks in North Carolina. Pretty universal term around here. I didn't think about it not being understood everywhere, sorry, my bad. :)

When they would run and I'd catch them in West Palm Beach I'd make a smoked, jerky out of them. I'd soak the strips in wild, sour, orange, pepper, and salt and smoke. :) I'd take it to work and it was gone in no time. I do the same with Gar.

we cut out the mud vein, cut 'em in chunks and deep fried 'em fresh. Was really good......
Mullet- that smoked jerky sounds awesome , I'm gonna have to give that a try :)
