| Re: First ever catch :D Do they not have much culinary value? Forgive me for what's likely a stupid question, I'm just an uninformed American... __________________ 2012 species: 13 All-time species: 65 New species caught in 2012: white sucker, popeye shiner, white shiner |

| Re: First ever catch :D Not the best fish for the table pyro, and they are very slow growing so better to return them if possible. __________________ Steve 2012 Species:Bass,Huss,SS Sea Scorpion,3B/Shore Rockling,Launce,Mackerel,Sand Goby,Sand Smelt,Pollack, Coalie,Conger |

| Re: First ever catch :D Nice wrasse btw Anderson, might be worth buying yourself a small fish ID book you can keep in you tackle bag if your not sure about your species. __________________ Steve 2012 Species:Bass,Huss,SS Sea Scorpion,3B/Shore Rockling,Launce,Mackerel,Sand Goby,Sand Smelt,Pollack, Coalie,Conger |

| Re: First ever catch :D The only wrasse we have over here is known as the tautog or blackfish, and I've heard good things about them as a food fish. I don't keep fish for the table very often, but I fish with a chef so I always think about that if it's a species I don't know. __________________ 2012 species: 13 All-time species: 65 New species caught in 2012: white sucker, popeye shiner, white shiner |
