Patches Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 We were skunked on the walleye last night, so we switched to rock bass fishing and ended the night with 14lbs 4oz of the tastey spring rockies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Nice job! I have to say, Rock Bass maybe my favourite tasting fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Fahrenheit Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 which area did you go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfisher Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 How do the world's greatest sport fish taste compared to other fish? More like walleye/perch, or closer to bass? This may come handy when I get skunked on walleye opener next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patches Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) Sarnia Bay was the Location (PM me for details). And I think they taste like a cross between bluegill and crappie. Edited May 11, 2007 by Patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Never tried them, don't know why, they probably taste good and hardly anyone keeps them, nice haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I find they are flaky like bass and tasty out of cold water. I also find they hit anything but give up quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikehunter Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Caught a good one once while perch fishing, kept it and it went into the pan. Tasted OK. I figured why not try it? It's another panfish of a different colour that's all. BTW, are you managing to keep the neighbourhood cat's, 'coons and skunks away from your patio with the lingering scent of fish on it?

misfish Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 When we were kids camping we ate them all the time.Stringer of them along with a few smallies and a walleye or two.It,s all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I thought all Bass were flakes! Cold water Rocketino's can be very good, if you can ever get the stench they give off, off of your hands! Been a long time since I ate one though... hmmmm... may not starve to death after all!

Patches Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Cold water Rocketino's can be very good, if you can ever get the stench they give off, off of your hands! The trick I use (for all fish) is rub your hands on stainless steel while the water is running. Cabelas (and others) sell a stainless steel bar of soap that does the same thing. Not sure the scientific process, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Those bars work great,even for getting the smell of gasoline off yer hands,or the scent of the mistress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 When I get home, I rub my hands on the stainless steel sink while washing...I'm just too cheap to go buy the bar....LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Me to Cliff! I believe it is also good for removing the smell of garlic from your hands. My wife thinks I have a thing for the kitchen faucet! Apparently, I'm rubbing it the wrong way! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
