More Trout and Stripers

Bennett (Percidae_Papermouth) and I fished for stripers and trout on Friday night near the mouth of the Elizabeth River. We fished for about four and a quarter hours and caught several trout and stripers up to about 23". It was a great night. Bennett is a fine person, and a great angler. It was a pleasure to fish with him.

Of course Bennett threw a whup'n on me (from the back seat of my own boat!) and caught two fish to my one. I missed a bunch just so he could get them. That's my story alright, and I'm sticking with it!

Most fish were caught on a Chicken-on-the-Chain colored Salt-Water Assassin.

Did you eat any of those trout yet? And how did you like them?

Trout are okay, and tuna and flounder are good. But nothing is like a crappie--yum, yum!

It was great, filleted them and put em in the pan with alil oil butter and parsley with a light dusting of house autry with a salad. Was great!

Striper is the best fishto eat IMHO. Trout are good too. I'll take a saltwater rock over a crappie anyday.
