i love fishing on boats. and i am prone to sea sickness. but like Tim i think bass fishing with a boat is a little lame ( i still do it occasionally ) but if you enjoy so be it, i'm a hack anyway so who cares what i think

if someone that is making money off me or my decisions stands me up or is more than 10 minutes late without a call they are history. That being said, if it's not in my gmail calendar then there is a good chance i don't even know its happening.

sundial is delicious and often sold in market as flounder. The first time i ate it was prepared by Crazy Al in one of those bamboo stack steamer things together with some ipswich clams we dug earlier. was a great meal. scaled and gutted. much sweeter than fluke. about as good as blackback flounder.

hush now, you'll scare him off.

filleted, did not remove dark meat/blood line. wrapped in foil with onion pepper garlic and butter and thrown on a grill. I have an open mind and would try it again whilst removing dark meat.

small piece of shrimp fishing for bait.

my bud was on ida last week with a guide. 5 clown knifes before 8 am. shad caught from ida in a cast net a few hours before. larry bite was off, prolly in spawn mode.

not to my knowledge but i suppose anything is possible. I forgot to mention that the very first fish i ate when living in Islamorada was a bermuda chub. do NOT eat bermuda chub. not as bad as albies but pretty close.

possibly a yellow jack, not all of them are bright yellow but they are all delicious. I think some of you need to learn the definition of a trash fish. Of the trash i have caught Ling is my favorite, i would target them if there were any left. the worst eating trash fish i caught was a pilot fish or at least what we called a pilot fish. the worst eating fish i have eaten was false albacore/little tunny. rough. when i was a fish monger i tried a bunch of things from the Caribbean. Goat fish was pretty good but small. A few different parrot fish but they all had the same taste which was an acquired taste that i never acquired. Surgeon fish had a similar taste as parrots, probably because they both were eating coral lol.

i can't really think of any "popular" fish that i wouldn't target, at least for a few casts. The great lakes salmon thing never appealed to me but i can see myself doing it for a while and then going to chase smallies. Larry is ok on topwater or large live baits but i'm not throwing crankbaits for them. Bluefish get boring after a couple when they are feeding at least. American shad fishing is fun for a bit but some people get really wound up for them .

There are gems all along the passaic. the scenery might be crummy and a shopping cart or aluminum truck rim might be the best structure in a pool but there used to be some good smallmouth fishing in the stretch between the falls. It's been a while since I poked around that river but it can't hurt to try.
