we split some between 4 of us and gave the rest to local crabbers to use as bait. kind of Ironic, the only reason DNR wants you to catch them around my area is because they destroy the blue crab population
ahh ok makes sense. That's quite the haul!

Went out today and we caught two black tip sharks and 42 silver trout and whitefish. Had the shark steaks tonight and it was delicious. Coated in Italian bread crumbs and grilled. Enough left over for shark sandwiches for Friday.

Cool stuff! I was working in Florida for a few months and got the chance to go fishing on the bay side. Beautiful place. We didn't catch a ton, but I got a few trout and mackerel and we cooked up a bunch of it, delicious. Oh, we were using live bait, and I also caught a very eager pelican
We were suing Gulp artificial shrimp that day. The pelicans can get very aggressive. A fishing buddy was attempting to clean a flounder when the pelican flew in and picked up a plastic bag of fillets. I laughed and he cursed.
Waiting for the weather to get warmer and then we will be out again.
Here's a little trout I caught at South Twin Lake in my beautiful state of Oregon!
Limit on rockfish here in Virginia Beach--great day (12/26) and my little girl met us at the dock.View attachment 432382
Got lucky--there's a limit (3 miles or closer to shore) and they haven't been running like years past. Best eating fish around. We had quite the cookout following. Our wives thought we were idiots standing around the grill, smoker and deep fryer outside. The bourbon and cigars kept us warm enough. They will take this anyday rather than have the kids help us during deer season.
