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.

Captain Mike and the boys

John with two yellows he caught this morning in the dark
