Past 2 days in the surf

[lung-buster]

This is our past 2 afternoons. Pompano, channel mullet, and a blue fish. Got 5 crabs in the cooler and hoping to add some more on the morning.

On the last couple of days the fishing slowed down. Only got 2 more pompano and a big stingray. Plenty of junk fish on shrimp. We never got a shark bite all week long. I did catch a baby on the first day about 14 inches long. Had good bait and dropped between 200 and 300 yards out. Not even any the teeth marks in the bait. Still had a great time.

Nice! I don't know much about salterwater stuff. Are pompano good eating?

The two small fellas are whiting I believe. Excellent eating fish. Never heard them called channel mullett.

The pompano are excellent. The rest are bait in my opinion but I am a snob when it comes to fish. I have caught some huge sharks and bull reds on whiting and blues. Blues are just too oily for me but I can't handle spanish macs either.

Whiting is a very good fish. Very white meat. I agree with the bluefish though. Not my favorite.

Yea whiting is the correct term but for some reason I always call them channel mullet. I don't mind the blue fish battered and fried. Got 2 more good pompano earlier.

We call the Whiting(or Channel Mullet) Ground Mullet in South Alabama.

They are good fresh, but do not freeze well. Kinda like a White Trout.

If you vacuum seal those whiting and then freeze them, they are just as good as fresh ones. Love whiting!! I've got some pompano sealed and frozen going to eat any day now. Having fried speckled trout tonight that was caught in Little Lagoon back in May.

I got spoiled on pompano, specs, and grouper.

I'll take those two whiting over everything on the table. If you like flounder, you'll like whiting. There called Virginia mullet in coastal NC.
