We've been going to my wife's family place there for 27 years, her parents passed so we bought out the rest of the siblings two years ago, absolutely love it there, practically raised our three kids there every summer weekend.

jkrock Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I saw three on the North shore the other day. Pretty big ones. We were petting them. Cool fish. FWIW, regarding eating them, I have a book from when I lived out in Washington, and the author caught a very small one (25-30 pounds) and wanted to try eating it. If I recall correctly, as it's been a long time since I read it, he was camping at the time. Once he got through the skin, he mentioned it being very gelatinous, and after a lot of unpleasant digging around he was finally able to locate some meat, which he proceeded to cook up in a frying pan. He mentions popping it in his mouth and chewing, then having an irresistible urge to spit it out Same for his pals with him.

Roccus7 Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Nothing like seeing one swimming by your dock in 6 ft of water when you pull in at sunset. As I motored over to make sure it was a Mola, I recognized it as "Scarface" one we've been seeing out in the bay, with a propeller scar across his face... scarface by dock lower res.mp4 Edited September 19, 2019 by Roccus7 Shall I go to heaven or a-fishing? - H.

albacized Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Saw one jump in the canal late day yesterday...I hooked into a false albacore shortly after (see funny fish thread) and a nearby fisherman thought I hooked into the sunfish...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryW Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 I was out last weekend in Cape Cod Bay and we saw hundreds of them, with constant views of them jumping. Many had a single seagull on them pecking at parasites. Unfortunately I was looking for albies and ended up hitting a submerged mola mola that I did not see while on plane and took off the transducer in 30 feet of water. Ugh. There were a freakish number of them. I suspect, although I am likely semi-paranoid, that the new normal will be jellyfish and mola mola and someone posted on the bow as lookout.
