Fresh Spanish mackerel is awesome less fishy than most other Mack’s…

Most people think sushi is all raw fish….NOT…we have some excellent fish in our area for tasty dinner Taney’s rainbows have better quality meat after they live a few months in those cold waters. Fall is the best time for sushi grade trout drum out of Stockton again late summer early fall of course walleyes crawfish out of our creeks or Tablerock small carp out of Taney the knife work with quality cutlery (expensive) is a Joy to watch, and we’ll prepped food on Japanese dinnerware is art. things to try in your rolls…cilantro leaves… Sriracha flavored Hellmann’s mayonnaise ( mix 10 parts Mayo/one part Sriracha instead of wasabi…cut your soy sauce with rum…again 10-1 soy to rum You can get a rice cooker under 20 bucks, perfect rice every time! A few YouTube tutorials and in no time you will be making meal adventures. so many things to use, quality beef, peel and eat shrimp. Of course cucumbers, avocados, pickled shrimp ginger , only your imagination limits you.

They are easy to over cook, once the meat goes from translucent to white it’s done most people over cook it just like over cooking shrimp

Their meat is a touch firmer and flaked fillets are perfect for California style sushi and fish tacos

A few faces you might remember

I know few guys that hit beaver….buy a bag of range cubes and chum up a spot, find an area 12-15 foot and fish at night…if you have the prep time whole oats soaked with a hand full of sugar for 2 days in a 5gal bucket or boil up corn chops in a turkey fryer with a hand full of red pepper flakes….it will get gloopy and you can form soft ball sized chunks great chum…a hair rigged plastic pop up corn dipped in flavor will catch you plenty… brian wingard, and Luke Nichols are carp you tubers with lots of videos to help

This was a fish shot out of the pothole area pretty sure it the same fish we have caught and release several times over a decade each time a bit bigger,

As far as carp flys, quite a few FB groups on fly fishing for carp, Beaver lake like most our lakes lack extensive flats, bluff or cliff faces are good places to start, pods of carp 7-12# cruise those areas picking up insects, stalking and intercepting pods with out spooking is the key….lots of backing and a quality forged hook are important. as far as carp competitions there are a number of the across the states…Connecticut, NY and Texas have had some major events, a few years ago a guy won $250k at one…like many things Covid-19 put a damper on things. we had a couple events locally a few years ago, an organized effort to trash our event was carried out…we had chummed pretty heavy for 3 weeks befor our first event, and a bowfishing group shot it up the weekend before ours…the took out 2 dumpsters full. we still caught plenty of fish, but size was way down…before the shoot down fish averaged mid teens, big fish pushing 30+…a few weeks before the game warden informed me he had weighed a fish a couple guys caught while trout fishing they thought it might be a new state record was a bit shy it was in the mid 40s! our big fish for the tournament was only 15# most fish ran 8# range…before the BFer got a hold of it it was easier to catch a 12 than an 8#er….. I was told the BFing community was concerned if the event was successful it would create another Town lake (Texas) complete with bag and length limits…couldn’t have that…. it would have too, the best carp anglers would have put the big girls on the bank….that was 20 years ago its things like this that have caused the saltiness between European style anglers and BFers. if you find quality fishing best not share details too loosely ….

Once the white river chain supported huge carp they rivaled anywhere, not anymore! BFing pressure, Specifically during the Spawn has made the catch of a 30 rare and a 50 impossible. Sadly only to have fish dumped in a ditch, boat ramp, trash can or dumpster more people fish for common carp in the USA than muskies, even Trout! The wide distribution of Common Carp allows this to be. Many states do not list commons as invasive, liberalized regulations to allow better European style fishing, multiple rods in chumming once no no’s now legal in states where it was once banned. even strict regulations on length and bag limits even dedicated trophy Areas.

People would be surprised to know there are more than a couple places where people pay big money to carp fish. Areas complete with guides and community support for the fishery Baldwinsville New York on the Saint Lawrence river.

Some huge muskies there too and it’s famous for huge carp!

WASHINGTON — The Government Accountability Office will review the U.S. Air Force's decision to headquarter Space Command in Huntsville, Alabama.Mar 22, 2021 as to space X pretty sure everything is moving to Texas

As far as something shoved down your throat, better religion than something else as far as the Alabama slam…more rocket scientists are in Alabama, the rockets that took humans to the moon was built in Alabama..first electric trolly was in Alabama. I could go on but you get the idea I was born and raised in Mobile…even though I have lived here most of my adult life it’s still home…you can take the boy out of the south but you can’t take the south out of the man.

Sorry but those jobs get outsourced to India and China

This is political but notice the paying people while allowing waves of illegals in? What better way to lure in millions of leftist socialist future vote....the great reset...orange man bad my posterior🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
