Got a late start and headed out to Three-Mile to try and round up a few trout for dinner. All in all a fantastic day. Started out with cut pinfish on a two-hook spreder with #4 circle hooks and were getting consistent doubles. Eventually switched to gulps for the sport of it and caught around 20 on a 1/2 ounce jighead with 3" new penny shrimp. At this point they were eating virutally everything. I was chewing some pink bubble gum and put it on the jighead and managed to catch 2 on the also!  Ended up getting around 40 trout and kept 7 for the table.

Saw a few bald eagles also. Great day!

The one on the right was around 19 inches and weighed around 3 pounds!

Those are some nice looking trout! Sure they made a tasty meal!

Congrats on the catch.

 

I would hardly call these trash fish.  White trout – also known as sand trout - are close cousins of speckled trout – just a little less glamorously colored and the meat is only a tiny bit softer.   They sometimes eat small fish, but concentrate on shrimp – this lends to their tasty flesh.

The smaller types aren’t much more than a drag into the boat or pier, but if you find yourself tied into a one peaking 1-2 pounds they put up a very nice fight.

They are more numerous than the more glamorous sporting fish as well – so you can feel comfortable taking a cooler full home for a good fish fry.  Check out this link for some tasty recipes.

I have caught dozens of fryers and caught a few 2 lb class white trout on a hair jig and I love them.

Do these babies have a lot of bones and what is the proper way to clean them?
