what's reg down there?
18 inches and only 2 fish per fisherman....obviously we had 3 guys fishing.
I'm having a hard time with your math. Do they spawn in the cooler? That cooler must be huge if those fish are 18".
I was joking about both numbers........the correct numbers are 11" and 15 pp.....a couple fish did tape out at 18". The cooler is a 100 gallon fish box located in the bow.
Re: My favorite fish to eat ..... I just wish they were hard to catch.
I can vouch that those little fishes are some of the best eating off GA and SC coast. Too bad they don't grow to the 20 or 30 lb size frame. We used to use tripple bottom rigs and catch them 3 at a time. This time of year you can't miss the schools on the graph. Looks like the bottom rises 20 ft.
Re: My favorite fish to eat ..... I just wish they were hard to catch.
We catch those near shore in the summer months here, along with fluke. They are the tastiest. Broil ' em with lemon and garlic, next to a little rice, and some suateed veggies, terryaki style, a few cold beers.....

How deep/what temp were you fishing???
65 feet and the water temp was high 50's, we use double hook rigs and cut squid or cigar minnows. Now if you want to make them really happy, catch and cut up another bsb and send that down on the hooks. The bastards are cannibals.
Re: My favorite fish to eat ..... I just wish they were hard to catch.
WOW?
I have caught those things and didn't know what they were, figured they were some sort of snapper so I threw'em back. Caught them in a place called the Hot Water Canal, it is a cooling water return for a power plant. I checked La. regs. no mention was made of number limit, all it states is a minimun size requirement of 8".
