[quote="Mad Dog"]When it comes to slimy catches I prefer to fight them to submission then hope the hook pulls out. Clean hands, clean deck, and a quick cast for the next one. :D

Isn't that the truth. The slime and stink is the only reason I dislike Northern Pike. They fight fantastically, but if your Bass fishing, where they are, you will catch some unfortunately. Not to mention they shred soft bodies lures.

Sea Robin... far too good a name for them. How about Sea Rat. When fluking or floundering, you can have days where these bottom feeding critters are all you haul up... very often the same one... over and over again. One friend I used to fish with years ago kept a ballpeen hammer on board, just for these rats. Did yours bark at you?

I have witnessed them being eaten, by people, but I don't know if there is any ancient secret wisdom to cleaning them just right, so if the fluke hide all day....

Gotta love those Pacific sails!!! What a nice end to what looks like a great trip. Me, I've been building a fishing platform.

Sam and I are getting back to work on our fishing platform today also.

Got to get this boat finished soon, there's a harbor down south with our name on it 8)

Image

Get's a little sloppy in the mouth sometimes, glad we've built her tough :D

But once you get in, it's pretty plush 8O ....

Image

The boats aren't too shabby, and the company is good 8) ...

Image

So back to boatbuilding with a renewed vigor...Wahoo :!:
