Unusual catch and how to prep it for some good eating!

November 10th, 2020|Categories: Captain Mike's Blog, Ocean to Galley Recipes|

Angler Dave Bell caught a fish recently that we don’t see often. It’s a Pargo! We checked with our fish experts at Fisherman’s Processing for some reommendations. The rub (and other great products) can be purchased here: Cajun Blackened Rub

“We see these fish occasionally, maybe a couple of times a year. I would either dust with panko crumbs and fry it, or pan sear it in butter and our Cajun Blackened Rub.”

Check out those teeth!

Trip #31: Oct 31-Nov 8 (8-day) Ultra-limited Load

November 6th, 2020|Categories: Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening anglers,

We scratched most of the day on 10-18lb yellowtail with a large variety of other species mixed in. Late in the day we got a good shot at these yellowtail right before the sun went down. We had some excellent action here!

Yoyo, surface iron and fly-lined sardine was the way to go to get a bite. We have all smiles and high fives here. We’re going to start rolling up after dinner.

Trip #31: Oct 31-Nov 8 (8-day) Ultra-limited Load

November 6th, 2020|Categories: Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good morning anglers,

We picked off a few yellows here in the dark on the dropper loop. We have been scratching ever since. No big hits but we’re accumulating fish as we go. Most of the fish are coming on the yoyo and surface iron. There’s lots of action here with big bass, a couple seabass and a big halibut . Brochure weather down here. We’ll check in later.

Bill caught this big halibut at dawn
