Frozen shrimp fly,  That would something to see.

That leads me to wonder,  what kind of a mess will I have after trying to fly fish in the dark  WHAT !!!???  OMG  LOL

 Thanks for the title Trapp   I really do enjoy catching those buggers  Now I'm trying to come up with a source of crayfish since they always have them in their bellies. Just might be one more thing to do... go catch crayfish   I do like to experiment with different baits.

Got-em    All my stars aligned last night with Free time, no chores no obligations, no eclipse, etc etc . it was a great night with star light sky, no wind, no bugs, or boat traffic.
  Got 32 of these beauties with most of them caught on shrimp.  Crawlers got a few as well as freshwater clams, but the shrimp was killer.

I’m not a bully fisherman so how
long does it take you to clean all of those??

Thats looks pretty good - I do something similar - just slice the skin all the way around the fish by the head and pull it off with a pair of pliers - then just snap the head off and the rest comes with it ....are bully's bigger than the one in the demo harder to cut that middle fin off ??

I've done that too - they do fillet pretty well .....

I do them like Uoflcards   Takes about 2 min / fish   The bigger ones I'll fillet after pulling the hide off so that's about 3 min.  Under 10" they go whole in the pan.  My brother and I brought home 66 one nite. That was a bunch of cleaning.

Yikes - no kidding ....my hands are hurting from from the slices and pokes from the horns and their slime just thinking about it .....I'm usually pretty careful but still get stuck or sliced once or twice - with that many I would be rushing too much and REALLY gotten it........

Naah   your being too careless   If they're bouncing around, a whack on the head with the back of your knife calms them down. Haven't seen a decent sized one yet that I can't tame.  It's the little buggers 6-8" that will stick you quick. I don't even like taking the little ones off a hook.

Yep - I'm almost ALWAYS too careless when it comes to them.....I usually use a good sized handle from a screw driver for the wacking but I still get stuck - hahaha

Looks like the long arm of the law there

Plan on wetting a few lines this evening to see if I can put a few of these tasty whiskered boogers in my bucket.

Might try some shrimp on one rod tonight. If nothing else, I’ll pair shrimp cocktail with a few Busch Lights

[gotagetm]

I may go out for some ...got friends that don't fish but like them muddy things I don't eat them but give them to them
