| Went fishing today from 1 to about 4. Using mullet for bait hoping for some redfish. Lots of Spanish mackrel and some bluefish. There was a lot of little shad like bait in the water. Used it and caught more Spanish mackrel. Are they good to eat? I let them go. Water was pretty but rough. |

Spanish Macks are pretty good to eat in my opinion, not as mild as trought but still good if you like fish. My wife isn't a big fan of fish but she liked it.
Were you fishing on the jetties or on the beach? I am surprised you didn't get any red's out there... |

Nope, absolutely terrible. Please put them on dry ice and send them up to Austin for me so I can properly dispose of them for you!  |

Spanish mackeral are very good grilled....
make good fish tacos, too.
and the limit is generous.
one of my best fishing memories was back before Nixon was elected (  )
my family and our neighbors rented a couple cabins at Rock Cottages in Port A...
neighbors had a tri-hull I/O and we fished between the jetties one day... dragging Hooties, we filled the boat... one or two even jumped in...
it was a blast! we must have gotten into a big school, because it was crazy action...
fish hooked up... fish coming over the side... fish jumping, laughs, yelling.. some cussing...
that was a great fishing trip and my neighbors and I still talk about it...
sadly, some are not here anymore, but the memory will last.
