When we used to out to Reelfoot lake when I was in college they had a couple rows of cane poles on the porch of the bait shop. Being more sophisticated than the locals we use our spinning gear. Still can't explain how those folks with the cane poles always ended up with a bunch of slabs, while we caught the 8 to 12 inch crappie. Bluefish ain't bad, you just have to cook them right. You cook them on a cedar plank over the grill, when they're done you throw away the bluefish and eat the cedar plank. I like the snapper blues 10-18 inches long. Filleted and pan fried the same day they're pretty tasty.

My dad used to go out on a party boat after work on Friday nights and come back just around dawn with Blue fish they caught. I hated that also. Very oily and fishy tasting. phxflytyer Phoenix,AZ "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."
