That is not always true. A live ladyfish is primo snook bait and

This year I'm definitely going to try live-lining for stripers here in the bay.
The trolling bit is just too much work. Now, if it were mahi-mahi, that would be
a different deal. But stripers are not the greatest eating fish going.


Wow, I love the stripers around here.

They're OK, but they just don't have much flavor. Most of the recipes around
here call for lots of seasonings, onions, tomatoes, etc. I like them done on the
smoker.

Just to switch a bit, but store bought talapia is about as flavorless
a fish as you can get. It seems that seasoning is mandatory for that
stuff.

I think it might add a bit of fish flavor to the seasoning you use,
then put the seasoning on something else.

Yup, talapia and striped bass taste a lot alike - bland. I eat talapia once in a
while but only 'cause I want a decent dose of fish oil. Ought to just take the
pills.

I'm gonna get some catfish. Blackened catfish should be edible.

That depends on the source of the catfish. Here's Maryland. Virgina
doesn't seem to have a chart.

Wow, that sure doesn't speak highly of Maryland's waterways. I'll probably stick
to store-bought, farm-raised, which are probably worse.
