Maybe you have a recipe you would share ??
I'd love to try for them again this summer, but will release if
I can't get them to taste better.

Thanks Capt.

The smaller ones taste better.Here in Florida they eat shrimp and the flesh is whiter and quite tasty.We do not catch hughe ones here like back home.The red drum taste the same and the size limit is 18'' to 27''.Even the small blues taste better here because they eat shrimp.They can not believe we land blues over 20lbs!!A big blue here is 3lbs.The size limit on black drum is 14-24'' with one over 24''.Still love my Stripers but having some fun here and not missing the weather back home.
