Perhaps my favorite way to prepare *cooked* fluke, is to coat it in panko and pan fry. Fluke is one of our leanest fish...very easy to overcook, esp when dealing with fillets...but a protective barrier of flour, egg, and breadcrumbs widen your cooking window considerably, protecting the fish...
What is your conclusion re the baby tranx Lep? Would love to hear your take on it. As it stands I'm not sure if it's worth "upgrading" from the Curado K...esp with the price difference and weight increase.
The bantam is in another category...what a beaut!
Very interesting choices Shimano made with that reel, and I agree great video teardown. Nick (Tackleavisors) goes into these reels live and record his reactions so it can be pretty compelling content depending on how big a tackle nerd you are lol.
About a decade ago there were dozens of videos uploaded on that humboldt squid run...seems like they vanished?
Interesting that they make bad bait...I wonder if they smell like danger to fish.
Good lord those are some big oysters!
I don't think I can choke one down raw...but that buttered breadcrumb topping, I can probably put away half dozen. Great job!
There's a reason the fish station is considered one of the most difficult posts to hold down in a pro kitchen: a few seconds can mean the difference between raw - perfectly cooked - and garbage!
I would strongly suggest investing in a quality meat thermometer, not just for fish, but for...
Your icing down process sounds awesome, and I hope your customers appreciate it! I fish from a kayak...so space/weight is limited, otherwise I would make ice more of a priority. It is certainly extremely important in determining the quality of your final product, regardless of species.
As for...
Hopefully 2019 bounces back. I do very little bass fishing...but I want to tangle with a big one off the yak, shallow...among the boulder fields in the western sound...that would be fun!
Me too! Here's the seabass baits:
and the porgy baits:
They're all pretty much variations of lipless crankbaits/blade baits. Some are made from metal/lead, some from ABS...some have great swimming action on the fall, some just drop like a stone. The same place you purchased your carbon...
It's a great bait for sure, but I haven't tangled with a doggie yet from shore/kayak (fingers crossed)...
These are the deep jerkbaits I'm gonna play around with this year. There's a certain shallow flat in NJ that has little current but generally fishes well if you can cover ground, and a few...
I recall a massive thread on another forum a few years back demanding the "old" gulp formula back. Some poor Berkely rep even stepped in and tried to answer questions...and they accused him of conspiracy and malfeasance; how dare he go and make the bait softer...it's all a trick to get us to buy...
Before you go, could you point out where in the Gulp patent you found polyurethane urea foams? Because I just did a search and could not find it.
What is listed are 3 different formulations of the product, broken down by % weight. Here's one:
Component Formula A Formula B
Polyvinyl...
Well, all I can do is link the patent here: US20090196849A1 - Fishing Lure Formulations - Google Patents
At a quick glance, the listed components are Amorphophallus Konjac (the aforementioned yam species), and different types of polyvinyl alcohols, which is a water-based adhesive.
