In summer (late June) what can one hope to catch after dusk? Is it the same as daytime (spanish, flounder, spec?). Reason I'm asking as my wife has given my times I can hit the pier and they are 10pm-11am. I'm pretty well versed to the morning side but have not clue about the overnight.
Thanks as always.
Mike
I fish all night during summer alot you can catch Specks, Flounder, Blues, Reds, Ladyfish, And many times I caught Spanish.
Also... not sure if you're aware but your signature should be attributed to Trent Reznor (Cash covered Hurt done originally by Nine Inch Nails)...
specks flounder reds sharks
While yes Trent Reznor did the song originally, i much prefer the version done by the Man In Black, that is the version that I play on guitar and like much more.Quote:

It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.
Personally I enjoy both. I'm not a pure country fan much at all, but I do enjoy rockabilly quite a bit (is the the right term?)
I would say so, i mainly listen to country, some new mostly old.Quote:

I would say flounder will be your best bet. I've had times when I fished at night for them and did considerably better than when I fished during the day for them. Right as you walk out under the first light, you can see them if the water is calm.
Yah I'm hearing late June is big flounder time. Are they hard to fillet? I'm looking forward to catching some as its a pretty pricey fish up here. Not as much as Cobia though ($22/lb!).
Not hard to fillet at all. A good quality flexible fillet knife is crucial. Check out YouTube, there are several vids on filleting flounder.
This is an excellent flounder cleaning video. It isn't exactly filleting, but it does remove all the bones and makes for a good place for some stuffing.Quote:

Make a first cut down the lateral line from just behind the head to the tail and work down the bone to yield 4 fillets. The fillets are very thin so make sure your knife is sharp and take care when removing the skin to not waste meat.Quote:

Another vote for whole Flounder.
I love them cooked whole or boneless filets. I have never seen one fileted in the manner shown in the video but I would love to eat a stuffed flounder that had been cleaned in that manner. I personally filet them by cutting along the lateral line from head to tail then working out to the sides.
Has anyone ever tried throwing one on the grill? I've only ever stuffed them and put them in the oven or fried the fillets.
I've done it with mixed results. The meat tasted great (I like fish cooked bone-in) but the presentation was spotty. Next time, I'd do it on the flattop grill to minimize the chunks that stuck to the grill and maximize surface area/heat transfer for the sear.Quote:
