Harassing the fishes of the Gulf of Mexico

In the last two days, I caught a mess of these fish--whiting--in front of the Barnacle.

It is a pretty simple thing, kind of like going after channel cats on the Mississippi. You just throw out a a hunk of shrimp on a three way rig (with a two ounce weight) and sit back until the rod tip moves.

I also discovered that whiting are delicious, with sweet and mild fillets. I attribute this to the fact that shrimp are the whiting's favorite food. Of course, by that logic, my flesh should be tasty as well, as I am also a glutton for shrimp.
