fishing meepnuts
Who here fishes, does anyone apart from myself?
I'll start this as a journal for myself, and if anyone else has pics/anything to contribute all the better.
These are from the last weekend on the south coast, a good spot out onto a rocky ground. here
my 3 bearded rockling, slimey little meeper, part of the cod family but i wouldn't try it


my mates dogfish

a seal who thought he'd try his luck stealing our catches

my dogfish. next time we catch any of these I'm taking them home to skin and eat, as a member of the shark family it's supposedly quite tasty, could get a few steaks of them. The skin is rough as meep, one wriggled the wrong way and took a good layer of skin off my forearm.

the view

as long as the weather is good I'm booked on a boat trip to fish deep water in 2 weeks, should be a hoot going for bigger fish, a 10ft shark was caught and tagged in the last month.

I'm a "Catch & Release" type of guy, unless its a really good critter, but I sure like to sit on the rocks by the sea. That's the meep.

I like to hit Virg's landing for some deep sea fishing over in Goat's neck of the woods.
There's a two or three day yellowfin excursion I've been wanting to try.

Lakes are for drowning, streams are for fishing.

California Lings are more "skulpin" like, and have a nice sweet, greenish flesh.

I filleted a bunch of those up north some years ago. Whats the scoop with the lime sherbet colored flesh, does it turn white when you cook it? I can't imagine eating green fish.

They have a high copper content because of a weird blood deal, like lobsters...some skulpin biology thing to survive in a tidepool/litoral zone. I forget so much meep.
The upside is the it makes the flesh sweet, just like the crustations. The color is unnoticed when you brown that meep in Ritz crumbs & meeper (black pepper & tabasco), and the flavor/texture is supreme. Fresh, one of the best in the sea, and a great shore fish. Good poke pole critter.
