Asked my Dad yesterday, and he said he's only seen a couple in all his
Florida fishing years, and never caught one, though he never went
after them either. Agree that the bigger fish aren't as good-tasting,
so I just might not go after them unless I release.
My dad's favorite eating fish is the sand perch. He can still stand
there for an hour filleting them to get a couple pounds of meat, and
he can hardly stand. They do taste good.

I love 'perch fingers'. Fillet's about the size of a half dollar, a quarter
inch thick, breaded, deep fried. Takes about a hundred, but damn they're
good.

Trout are getting damn hard to find in the bay. Unless you're Harry of
course. But I think they're the best eating of the fish out there. May not
be the same trout you're talking about. Here they're also called weakfish.
The hook will pull out of their mouth very easily.

The problem is that the bluefish find a school of Sea
Trout/Weakfish/Speckled Trout and when you are gently reeling in the Sea
Trout a damn bluefish will see it and make a dash towards it and take a
big old bite out of the middle of the Sea Trout and you are left with a
head on the hook if you are lucky.

Sea Trout are good eating fish.

We have a white and black panfish (freshwater crappie) out here we
call calico bass, they can get a pound or better record is like 2 I
think. Anyway, in the fall they are just great panfried. Beautiful
flaky, just like good flounder..

Come to Florida where Crappies (specks down here), 2 ~ 4 pounders are not
hard to find. Great eating, if fact we have a Crappie cookout planned for
this coming Sunday.
