Its been a while since my last post. I have been traveling and when not traveling I have been really trying to get out there as much as possible. One of the most memorable trips ended in an odd twist for me. With the kids off a few weeks ago, I always try and get my nephew out to wadefish.

Heading out to Bishops harbor in the trusty Gheenoe.... off we went. The tide was ridiculous that day... lower than I had ever seen it. We managed to still get out there and all we really found was a pod of lady fish. For me... they have always been a great fish to fight. We caught a couple and then I remembered a posting on a forum from a while back.... You got it... I kept a few. Now before you stop reading... Remember... Snook were once considered a trash fish... Keep that in mind...

I got home, put my pride on the back burner and said... whats the worst thing that could happen...

I followed the video and recepie and substituted green curry for red curry paste. HOLY COW it was good. The kids, myself and wife devoured them! Opening you mind and just trying something new sometimes is enlightening.

Don't knock it unless you try it! I will never look at a ladyfish the same way again.

Never tried eating them but....they are my favorite type of cut bait. There aren't too many fish I haven't hooked using cut lady fish. We keep everyone we catch, if we can't use them that trip, I will cut them into steaks and freeze them for the next trip. You can almost always find a ziplock bag of cut lady fish in my freezer any time of year.

Same here. I just make sure everyone on my boat unhooks them with the poop shoot facing the other way

Half the time, by the time the fish is coming over the edge of the boat, its already spit the hook. Crap flying everywhere...
