YIKES! - The Hook claims another victim
Heading out at 5:30 am on Saturday morning we saw the latest victim of the dreaded Sandy Hook sand bar. I've seen boats on the sand before but never like this. This one was so far up the beach - I can't imagine how fast and how off course this boat was riding. Must have happened in the middle of the night - hope nobody was hurt. These two Tow Boats were dragging it across the sand. Probably a 40 ft. boat. Crazy.
On a lighter note, you can't beat a crispy deep fried whole black sea bass for lunch.

Re: YIKES! - The Hook claims another victim
When the moon is full and high the hook will leave you dry.
I saw a couple groundings there in the past and I wondered how the hell something like that happens especially with todays electronics. Your seabass looks awesome. Can you give us some details on how you prepare it?

Poor guy. It's not like there's a massive shipping channel a few yards away where he would have been perfectly safe of he stayed in the channel. Dumb ass of the year award. Mistakes happen. But with radar and top of the line electronics on that thing there is zero excuse.

Re: YIKES! - The Hook claims another victim
Quote:
Gut, gill and scale fish (very important to remove all scales) Dry it with paper towels (very dry) slice a diamond pattern into the skin and meat salt, pepper and season fish all over (I use a little garlic, rosemary salt) dredge in a half/half mixture of flour and cornstarch Heat canola oil in deep fryer This fish only took about 3-4 minutes to fully cook and crisp up. After it cooled a bit I made a little sauce with soy and lemon juice. It was delicious - picked every bone clean, crispy skin and fins. So good.

Re: YIKES! - The Hook claims another victim
Boat was a 36 Contender with triple 300's. The guys were heading out at 1 am to go tuna fishing. You can not go by the GPS chart around that part of the hook as most all of them are wrong. Need to stay left of the red bouy around that area. Boat was brand new. My buddy warned him about navigating that area before he headed out. Needless to say he did not listen very well. Luckily nobody was seriously hurt from what i heard just knocked around. Hard lesson learned

Re: YIKES! - The Hook claims another victim
on the bright side, it was much calmer up on the sand than it would have been off shore tuna fishing that morning... it was snotty out all morning.
