Panhandle Inshore Slam! Redfish on Half Shell

[smokenoob]

Not to be confused with a Red Snapper. This is a Red Snapper:
and this is a Redfish:

yes, bulls are not eaten. The slot limit is 18”- 27”. Probably only 1/10 redfish I catch is a legal slot. So a slot is a prize!
I think yesterdays redfish was 25-26”, nice eater!

Actually its Red Drum to be exact. Two completely different genus of fish (have a minor in ichthyology which is totally worthless to me). I love it when they "tail".

we have black drums to!
so many fish, so little time.....

On the halfshell, definitely my favorite way to prepare... plus my fileting skills are average at best, so win-win! Mach 10 on the scale side for a few minutes with salt/pepper/butter on top, then a minute or two on the flesh side, a little fresh lemon to finish. A few wood chips on the burners, can't beat it!

I’ll put that one away for next time!

Noob you fishing off a kayak? Cool.

Caught redfish off the cape Canaveral flats with my son when on holiday a couple years ago. Barbequed them at holiday villa. Awesome fish.
