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.

That's an interesting fish the tilapia.

The lobster of fishes.

Believe it or not, I've never had lobster. Been offered it at affairs
a few times as a choice, but always took the steak instead.
Not that I'm averse to trying it. Probably better than snails which I
ate once - and only once. I like crab for sure, and crawdads.
My wife cooked that talapia once, and I didn't care for the taste so
told her not to buy it anymore.
Maybe I shouldn't have asked her the name of it.
I've been fishing for 57 of my 61 years, in a lot of places, and she
serves me a fish I never even heard of.
What the hell? It just ain't right.
The above info tends to confirm that.
But any of that farm fish doesn't taste right to me.
Told her to quit buying salmon too.
Eating fresh caught wild fish has spoiled me rotten.

Had one from Subway a couple days ago. Sure was good!

That's real encouraging, Don. Lobster might finally get the respect
it deserves.

Dude!!!!

Now where have I heard a preference for walleye before? (-:
I'll bet it's the favorite eating fish of 80% of the people up here.
Fishermen, anyway.
Lake perch and bluegills are probably next, then crappies.
But that's from when those were all plentiful.
Remember the Twin Drive-In on Milwaukee, north of Palwaukee airport in
Wheeling?
That's all condo's now. But across the street from there is a
restaurant called Bob Chin's. Opened I think in 1990.
The Twin closed about '95. I do miss the drive-ins.
He flies his fish in - all sea fish - every day. Never had a bad
piece of fish there. About one in four times there they had Florida
grouper, and that's my pick. Otherwise tuna, swordfish or dolphin.
Come to think of it I only got the tuna once - didn't care for how
they cooked the thick steak. Too raw. So 1 miss in about 20.
Check it out next time you come up. I've heard the prices are steep
for dinner, but I always went there with the business lunch crowd,
and a nice fillet with sides was only about 10 bucks.
Haven't been there in 2 years though.
Here, found this:
http://www.bobchinns.com/bc_food.html
The sample lunch menu doesn't look like it has the selection
of fish you'll probably see, usually at least 3 types of fillets.
I always got them grilled "blackened" style.
Never tried the crabs or lobsters, but the fried squid and clams were
good.
Going to try to get up to Kenosha to the Brat Stop later this summer,
and take a look at the boats too.
