Saltwater fish survey #1

[The Skunk Ape]

Maybe it’s a matter of opinion but I hardly consider Pompano an inshore saltwater fish.

I’d say it’s a matter of rarity. I’ve caught them on Galveston beach’s in the summer in the past but very rare

Favorite = Trout
#2= Flounder
#3= Reds

Flounder is great grilled but it's tough to beat fried trout for me.

I just started pompano fishing this year. Probably caught 150 this year with feet in the sand. I caught 3 last week. I’ve also caught a few this year inside the jetties. Never caught one offshore or nearshore.

The best part of a red fish is his throat

Pomps followed by mangrove snapper

Flounder is tops for me followed closely by these two.

Depends on how its cooked.

Blackened Redfish
Fried Trout, redfish throats and backbones and sheephead
Baked stuffed flounder.

Here too, with minor edit

That’s what I was talking about. I don’t consider a surf fish in inshore species.

I saw a Triple Tail in Lake Sabine once about 10 years ago but I think you could fish there for 50 years and never catch one.

So you would consider them an offshore species? That seems like more of a stretch. Also, every fish discussed in this thread can be caught in the surf.

They are very common in some florida bay systems at the right time of year.

I’m convinced anyone that doesn’t have triple tail at 1 or 2 at worst just hasn’t had it. Triple tail; then everything else. Fresh trout fried up, redfish on half shell, flounder done any way.

Fresh raw oysters are technically “fish” and I wouldn’t pass that up for anything.

Flounder

[Man]

Flounder. But after reading the replies I really feel like I should give sheephead another go.

[Hollywood]

Black Drum & Sheephead for fish tacos
Pan seared trout
Blackened ( bled out ) Redfish

All above fried.

Going to have to hit you up for some lessons on how to catch them in the surf Glen!

Yes offshore, just an opinion and I doubt the OP was talking about Florida. Pollock are a good inshore fish in the northeast like around Massachusetts but that probably isn’t what the question referred to…
