I've never eaten one, but I've heard of people who smoke them. They're supposed to be kinda oily and fishy otherwise, but if that's your cup 'o' tea Comment Post Cancel.
Very boney And BK, I'm sure my weight estimate is off. I'm no good at these things and somehow always end up estimating bigger than my actual catch Regardless, some were definitely over 1. Oh and I've never had any bad tasting "smallies". Posted: Fri May 23, am. The strong weedy taste of bass caught in some waters may be eliminated by skinning the fish and salting and peppering the fillets before battering. Posted: Fri May 23, pm. But once we did try spring suckers and again, they were tasty and a lot meatier I've been repeatedly told that if any of the potentially not-so-palateble fish ie bass, pike can be tasy if caught in cold water.
And yup, "skinned" bass fillets are much tastier than say a "baked bass". Even cutting a larger bass into steaks and frying it up as such is actually quite good.
And with some chardonnay, you'd think you're eating tuna. Hey BK Maybe there's more baitfish over by the rock pile? Create new account Request new password. All rights reserved.

I have noticed the same thing with bass and even bullhead at times.
If I take a largemouth from Fish Creek down the road in late summer they sometimes aren't even palatable. Fish taken from the lake that feeds it are fine, however. Must be the vegetation or something. However, I never met a brook trout that I didn't like. Chubs, eh? Have to give 'em a try I can't get past the stink and slime. If you're doing the catching and cleaning, though I dont know Ive eaten plenty of crayfish and they taste fine.
CCR Moderators. Not too many humans eat creek chubs, although they reportedly are tasty. Some anglers and bait dealers harvest them for bait. How Do They Reproduce? In streams, creek chubs excavate dig out a pit in gravel beds where there is a moderate current. Using his mouth, the male piles the pebbles upstream of the pit, which forms a ridge as he works downstream.
The final product is a ridge up to 30 cm 12 in long with a shallow pit at its downstream end. Once the "ridge-pit" is built, the male defends it from other male creek chubs and sometimes other species.
When a female enters the nest, the male encircles her front with his body and they spawn. The female leaves immediately. She may return or swim to another nest. During each spawning episode a female lays about eggs. Her total output in a season may be 1,, eggs. The male covers the fertilized eggs after each spawning with some of the gravel from the ridge.
