Mosquitoes are good on live bait towards sun down

I think from reading all of this our mistake was trying to cover up the piss taste in the white bass with Zatarins Blackened Seasoning instead of beating it out of the fillets. That recipe sounds darn good and the next ones that I run into will get that treatment because what I do won't work. Thanks I do like to blacken cats/bass/crappie in an iron skillet with a touch of cayenne , cumin, & salt or Zatarins Blackened Seasoning in olive oil on my gas grille burner. While that's going I grille olive oiled onion slices or olive oiled preboiled corn ears on the grille starting about 5 minutes ahead of the fish. Good light way to do any fish regularly so I won't lard my butt out and have ride a scooter in WalMart with a purple face when I am old some day.

We ran into a feeding frenzy a week ago on point flat near a drop off off. We had never fished for or ate White Bass and so we took a two home and used Zatarins and an oily skillet. They were brought home alive in the live well and I immediately filleted them, cut out the red meat, soaked them in fresh water for a few hours etc. They were SO nasty to us and we could not eat them. I think they tasted like shad smells! The neighbor's cat thought i was okay. If anyone has a recipe/technique for cooking that would be great.

Because removing the slime coat on fish when handling them reduces their survial rate upon releasing. It is their protection against bacteria in the water from killing them. Science indicates that survival rates for released fish are about 82% with barbed hooks and proper handling, but fall to 25% when handled by those have no desire to learn anything that does not benefit just themselves at the current instant. Contact any local conservation agent or biologist and they will tell you the same thing. And yeah Lamprey, share the knowledge but really, pay for a product ad if you are trying to profit.
