Fishing report for yesterday.

Rain, moderate winds, had to run with radar - boated 33 schoolies
before I called a halt to the festivities.

Yesterday's news reported a fish kill down south of you, off the NC coast I
believe. Pictures showed many, many dead stripers, mixed with some smaller
fish, maybe croakers. Anything like that happening up your way?

No - but we're seeing a lot of "sick" fish - lesions and such.

Hell, many in the Bay were thinking the lesion covered stripers were unique
to the bay. I suppose you could be seeing fish that picked it up in the bay
and then headed north. Or maybe the problem is more widespread than I
thought.

Today's news talks of fish kills in the southern Potomac - stripers,
croakers, rays, etc. A week or so ago, maybe longer, we had a big spill
from the Blue Plains sewage treatment plant. Don't know if that's the
problem or if the crap is coming from somewhere else. It's bad news though.
Hope it doesn't affect your livelihood.

We are seeing a large die off of freshwater drum (sheephead) here on the
western basin of Lake Erie. We first noticed it a couple of weeks ago when
we were out. I had first thought they were killed by fishermen (this is the
peak of the walleye season here) as the sheephead often take the bait. Most
fishermen kill them and throw them back for the gulls. The number of dead
fish was too large for that situation though.

http://www.ohiooutdoornews.com/artic...news/news1.txt

Sheephead are a useless fish and I am glad to see them go. The problem,
however, is the stench as they lie dead along the beaches. Lakefront
property owners are being told to bury them and cover them with lime.

Half the sources I've read say they're useless, and half say the taste is
totally bland, like haddock. As it turns out, you can use it as a substitute
for crab in crab cake recipes, and it's terrific.

No such thing as useless in nature. Even the worst misfit serves a
purpose in the grand scheme of things.

Besides, here's an interesting comment about that very perception from
the article you linked:

"Let's face it, if people weren't educating others that these
fish are 'bad' then we wouldn't come away with that
perception," he said. "I've had kids on my boat and had them hook
into some nice drum that's bigger than the perch that's coming in.
If you're not beating the fish over the head and talking about how
bad it is, that kid will think he's caught a nice fish ... It is what
you make it."

If they are an easy fish for kids to catch, that's a big plus. The
author is right on with his observation. Back when I was a
pre-kindergarten kid I caught my first fish. I reeled that little
sucker in all by myself, and for a moment I was so proud and excited,
you would have thought I had won first place in a major tournament.
Almost immediately, I was made to feel as though I had done something
wrong by the adults on hand, "Oh, look. It's only a gawddam
bullhead....." Wonder if that's why I can take or leave fishing, even
to this day?
Probably not, really, but it could be a minor factor.

One can go an entire day of drift fishing in late Spring and not catch a
thing. If I am going to take kids out fishing it will be to a farm pond not
on Lake Erie. That experience is far more productive and will help
reinforce the idea to them that fishing is fun. A non productive fishing
day on a drifting boat will do the exact opposite for a kid.

As to the sheephead...........their only use is food for the gulls.

I used one from McLane's Fish Encyclopedia. I'm sure that whatever recipe
you have would work just fine. But, here's the tricky part: If the recipe
says something like "2 cups chopped crab meat", you would change the words
"crab meat" to "whatever fish ya got around".

Raccoon Kabobs
(Also known as "Ringtail Surprise")

Two pounds, reasonably fresh raccoon, cut into one-inch cubes; one-half cup
homemade French dressing; two green peppers, cut into squares; one large
onion, cut into one-inch pieces; one-third pound mushroom caps.

Place raccoon cubes in a ceramic bowl and pour dressing over cubes. Let
marinate two or more hours. Remove cubes, reserving marinade. Alternate
raccoon cubes with pepper squares, onion pieces and mushroom caps on
skewers. Brush all with reserved marinade and broil over hot coals until
done to desired degree. Turn frequently and baste with marinade as needed.

Serves six.

Sheephead are a useless fish and I am glad to see them go. The
problem,
however, is the stench as they lie dead along the beaches.
Lakefront
property owners are being told to bury them and cover them with
lime.


Half the sources I've read say they're useless, and half say the taste
is
totally bland, like haddock. As it turns out, you can use it as a
substitute
for crab in crab cake recipes, and it's terrific.

Are you sure you are talking about the same fish as I am? I have never
heard of anyone eating freshwater sheephead.


I'm your source. Baked with just a little butter, it's as boring as
haddock.
Jazz it up, and it's fine.

I will pass. I can send you all you need though...........you just pay
the shipping and handling charges. ;-)


I'm curious as to why you feel this way about a fish you've never tasted.
Some people say "I've never tried that food, but I know I don't like it".
These people are usually among the stupidest. Is that you?

Some people will eat roadkill.

Yep. And by doing so it puts them at about the same level as flies on the
food chain. ;-)


What if you saw the raccoon killed by some other method, by someone who knew
how to handle fresh game? Would you eat it?

smaller
fish, maybe croakers. Anything like that happening up your way?
No - but we're seeing a lot of "sick" fish - lesions and such.
We are seeing a large die off of freshwater drum (sheephead) here on
the
western basin of Lake Erie. We first noticed it a couple of weeks
ago
when we were out. I had first thought they were killed by fishermen
(this
is the peak of the walleye season here) as the sheephead often take
the
bait. Most fishermen kill them and throw them back for the gulls.
The
number of dead fish was too large for that situation though.

Bert, for shame. You're starting to take on the name-calling attributes of
Harry and JimH. You're a better person than that!

I shot my best round of golf today. Shot a 102 at Forest Green down by
Quantico. Beautiful course, but not cheap. If it hadn't been for two par
5's that cost me 19 strokes, I might have broken 100. That's my goal for
this summer, along with a 45" rockfish, of course.

There's a small craft advisory on at the moment, Bertie, with two to
fours out on the bay and 15 to 20 knot winds, with gusts up to 30 knots.
Right now, it's not too windy close to shore, but I can see whitecaps.
Weather predictions are better for tomorrow.

I'll be visiting Yo Ho later today to install some new gear and replace
a busted sidelight on the trailer.

Four hour, 200 mile trips, Bertie? Is that one of your masturbatory
fantasies?


So take out the big boat. Problem solved.

Speaking of which, have you been out in the big boat yet, Harry? I would
think it could handle 2-3ft waves much better than Yo Ho. Except for the
wind, today would have been a gorgeous day on the bay.
