Post by: BULLBLASTER on July 06, 2013, 11:14:05 AM: They are pretty tasty... I usually don't like fish at all ( if it smells like fish I'm done...) but my buddy threw one from the day before on the grill and it smelled good... and not fishy! Think I like it. :chuckle:
there was no bites from 8 am till 330 pm or so then it just came to life. Were hooking up every few minutes until dark!

I would say to try to get it done sooner rather than later, the year to year decline might not leave much chance of hooking on if you wait too long.
