BL 4/1 - Hey Math Geek!

[drjay]

Made a quick afternoon trip with bro-in-law. Should've gone in the am, because the winds were strong out of the south, and the water was not pretty. It was fresh chocolate milk until we got to the very south end of the lake. Down south, it was stained but there were a lot more mullet than last time I fished. Picked up 2 trout under some birds, 2 reds (lost one) pounding the south bank, and one flounder and a big nasty on the rocks at Lambert. I thought about Math Geek's delicious drum stick recipe, but I didn't want to kill my electric knife. He lived to fight another day.

Trout were caught on black TTF eels, reds caught on white/sparkle grubs, and the flounder and big nasty were caught on a black gulp curly tail.

I'm ready to fish *salt*water again.

Nice flattie in the bottom pic.

Nice. Yeah, I wore out a couple of electric knives on drum, then gave up and lately have been using a big Buck knife (119 fixed blade 6") to separate the fillet from the skin. I think I'm going to invest in some higher end fillet knives before our next trip to Louisiana. The electric knives are great for trout, but I prefer to fillet redfish, drum, sheephead, and catfish the old fashioed way.

I got me one of those serrated Dexter Russell knives a while back.

It took me a little while to clean a nice size Red using it the first time because that knive was "scary" sharp and I did not want any accident. That knife easily cuts through the scales on a Red fish.
