I was using a drop shot technique to get the herring down - I normally
don't drop shot a lot preferring more natural techniques with
artificial lures - this live bait thing has been an experience.

I use the drop shot to get a chunk of bait or even a live minnow if I
have one...down to the bottom, but not actually on the bottom...maybe a
foot or less off the bottom. It's a killer for flounder.

I don't do a lot of fluke fishing. *I have a few fluke rigs, but very
seldom use them.

Just something about fluke fishing annoys me for some reason. :)

My father in law lived to fish for flounder. *He had a unique way of both
cleaning, fileting and cooking them and they were really good eating. *He'd
catch a winter's supply during the summer, freeze 'em and, in his words,
"Nuke" 'em *(cook them in the microwave).

I am not a big fish eater, but I have to admit, they were good.

I've recently become a fan of Costco's tilapia. That's a pretty good fish
for the price they charge. The little Belarussian kids love it too.- Hide quoted text -

If you saw "Dirty Jobs" last night, you might change your mind.. They
are raised in the desert southwest in huge tanks where they are used
specifically to eat all the poo that comes from the hybred bass tanks.
When they are too big, they are sold for food.. But they are raised
exclusively on poo.. ewwwwwwwww......

Hell, everything you eat is either pre-poo or post-poo. So, what the hell?
Catfish eat a lot of poo too, you know!
