Well we got out to the three mile at about 1030 last night (nov 12). We had 2 doz live shrimp and first started floating them while I threw a yo-zuri. After about 25 min of nothing I took the cork off my shrimp and let it out weightless. I hooked a shark, fought him until he was just about finished then he cut me off. I was lazy and didn't tie a liter on. So this time I tied on a liter and decided to try these "gulp shrimp". I wasn't sure how people normally fish them so I just put it on a 1/4 oz red jig head. Within a couple minutes I hooked up and caught the first redfish you see. My friend changed his rig to a gulp on jighead and quickly hooked up as well. We both caught two stud reds. I also threw on one with a live crab I scooped up, but he quickly cut me off. I was out of swivels so I didn't tie on a liter. I wasn't surprised at all that happened. We also caught those 61 white trout that you see. A lot of times we weren't even working those gulp's. They'd be just sitting on the bottom. We never did go back to live shrimp. We left at about 3:20 this morning. All in all a good night.

Are white trout good to eat? How are they cooked?

If in doubt, FRY THEM!!!!!!!!!! They are normally no good unless they are fresh, and there is nothing else available to cook. Some people like them. I find them a waste of time to prepair, but they are fun to catch. The meat is like mush.....

please excuse boatjob1...for he has been taught how to catch flounder and flounders is much better eating. there was a time when he would have eaten a blowfish...LMAO!

i fried a dozen up last night and they ate as good a specks! the trick is not to freeze but eat fresh...before frying place ur fish in a metal bowl with crush ice and water...this will firm them up...then place in meal and fry...yummy

Thanks...I think they taste as good as most anything else. Of course they're not snapper, flounder or grouper, but other than those they're just as good as anything.The good thing about them is they're not a strong tasting fish.Their meat is very clean and white.You dont have to worry about cutting blood meat away to cut down on the strong taste. I never have a problem with them coming out crisp and firm in the fryerafter freezing them. I freeze all my fish in water so maybe that makes a difference. I was on the pensacola side though. About two lights up from where the hump starts.

Nice report, gulp shrimp seem to work as well, if not better than live shrimp.
