Started off with the idea of catching a few more whiting for ceviche and some boiling in oil. Basic stuff.......fishfinder and shrimp pieces. Worked out well enough, though, as is the norm, once the tide slowed catfish and stingrays became a issue.
So.....while the tide was low the castnet was employed for a few minutes around a sand bar at the mouth of a creek. Had about 6 dozen mixed baits, mud minnows, killies, seabream....or silversides if you like......and a couple of pinfish. Almost all on the small size, small enough to where we changed out our hooks to 1/0 Kahle.
Took about 2 1/2 hours to go through all of them.....and some more of the shrimp. And.....some of them got stuck back on the hook dead after they were spit up by fish.
About 30 mangroves, only 5 of which made the grade. A couple of lanes, a few jacks and ladyfish, one small red and a couple of seabass.
Ceviche for dinner tonight and tomorrow. And Saturday......fried whiting.....
