Anyone ever actually eat the bait? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I haven't had a chance to get out in a while; but I am guessing from the sounds of this thread that perhaps fishing is slow these days?

"Ahh hell, I guess we can just eat the bait."

I can't wait to see how Yani serves up the bottom of the food chain. I have heard from lots of folks that spanish mas taste great. I have yet to try one, it seems like a lot of work for such a little bit of meat. Then again, I eat trout, and one could say the same for them. Thanks all, you have opened my mind.

Just ate a greenie! Didn't filet as well as a I hoped because it was still a little frozen inside.

It was actually pretty good. Some olive oil, lemon pepper and fresh basil and it was actually quite yummy! Definitely saving bait from now on lol.

Whether you eat macs or sardines is strictly cultural.

It has absolutely nothing to do with taste.

We have been "trained" that it is a bait fish, many places think otherwise.

We don't eat horse meat in the U.S. because we were "trained". If you ever had smoked horse sausage links, to die for.

Beef is cool, right? Not to the 930 billion Indians.

So, keep your mind open.

Carp, now that is some good eats!

The tongue is excellent when eaten raw. Had them in Japan.

I'm all for trying different kind of food. Even had fried cricket once. Let's just say it tasted better than they look. But, raw horse tongue?!?! I guess that's the closest thing to french kissing a horse?
