We have been ice free for near three weeks now. Lake surface temps sitting at 51*.
Stripers are in the Delaware River right now. They follow the shad up. Buddy has a jet , might jump on an invite to chase some tomorrow.
Mmmm I see them in the supermarket freezer, dont have them here to catch . Mostly for all the immigrants ......honestly the fish freezer looks like a blimmin bait shop now with all the frozen imported fish . Are they a good eat ?
Haven't had them yet, but I hear they're fantastic. Alot of fisherman are targeting them....
I think these ones here are farmed as opposed to wild caught but Im going to catch a couple next time I pass that freezer . They also have Sanmar which I only ever bought as frozen bait but they look tasty too.
Had one the other day. They're excellent! Very mild, fantastic table-fare. The locals concurred....
When I was living in Fl we would lightly bread and fry the back bones and suck the meat off them very tasty snacks. Really sweet meat much like cheeks belly meat and the little nuggets above the eyes on the big fish.
Well I had another look at supermarket and one frozen ,about 10" long vacuum sealed was 12 bucks and I couldnt see and no one could tell me if it was gutted or gilled or even scaled so I left it there.
Looks like a nice day there ,and you guys are all moaning about the snowApparently, a bird sat atop this fence post in my driveway recently and took a poop, dropping a sunflower seed down, which took root and bloomed. We let it grow and now it's fully flowered. Neat-o. (took the pic this morning.)

Yeah, could have been a squirrel. But, it sure is close to the post! LOL!Looks like a nice day there ,and you guys are all moaning about the snow
Nice detective work .......but I reckon a squirrel is guilty
Yeah it is . Nature sure does have things sorted when it comes to seed dispersal .Yeah, could have been a squirrel. But, it sure is close to the post! LOL!
