Tidelands 6/26
Tried out tidelands for the first time today. Fished the end of the incoming tide, the slack, and the bite picked up on the outgoing tide. Never fished this area, so didn't really know where to go. Caught most of them around the bridge, (75 feet away of course). Here's a pic of the biggest one. All caught and released. I've never eaten a spottie. Do they taste good?

Nice catch! I enjoy them. I won't keep one unless I'm eating it that night, though. 7 times out of 10 I'll throw it back.

That's a chunker! I eat them on occasion and they taste pretty good. Just like any other bass type to me.

That's a toad spottie ! Nice fish. I could be wrong but I think when the lower jaw is lit up yellow like that it means they are in the middle of spawning. Calico do a similar color change when it's spawning season.

I grew up eating spotties. They taste about like the other bass. They have super firm meat; firmer the sandies or calis imo. Its good poached and then flaked in a fish salad or cocktail. Mike
