Joe and I took Half Note out fishing Sunday. The fishing was great, but most of the fish we caught were heads. Yes, heads. We were catching 14 inch mangrove snapper, but before we could get most of them to the boat something big was biting off the bodies of our fish. We never saw what they were, I would guess shark, but we knew we didn't want to clean our hands off over the side of the boat. I have to tell you it is frustrating to have a beautiful, yummy, 14 inch mangrove snapper on and then have a BIG fish bite the body off before you could get it to the boat. Not all was lost. We did manage to get a few in before Jaws (I think we heard the music) struck and it was a fun day of fishing even though most of what we caught were heads.

ReplyDeleteTen to one it was barracuda. They can really be a pest when you are fishing. Keep posting. Us poor folks who only get to use our boats when we can break away from the office enjoy reading.

Nice heads! Was this on the Atlantic side or the gulf side? Bob

Bob, Stephanie: You know, over in some Asian countries, fish heads are a delicasy. You guys have all the luck. Miss you. Safe travels on the crossing and beyond. Norm and Vicki.
