    What is that cool walleye looking blue fish?
    @poster. We call them sea bass. a.k.a black bass. A delicious primarily inshore saltwater white fleshed fish that is most often found in schools near structure. They hit very aggressively and are a blast to catch. Average size for us is small up to a to 18”, but we have caught a few that were 4+ Lbs. Min size is 12 or 12.5”, but we usually do not keep unless 14” unless it is a really slow day and we need something for the grill. 

    Clean and scale, grill hot and fast, whole (there is a lot of meat up by the shoulders which you lose if you filet. A little oil to crisp the skin  salt, pepper, thyme and a pinch each of garlic, onion and cayenne.  Wonderful eating fish.

    I saw there were a few threads because I was mentioned in them.  I few I have the technique down for the whole muscles, but still have not made the jump to fermented sausages.  I want to. I need to. I am going to. I just haven’t done it yet. I need to take the leap under @lkapigian ‘s mentoring  I also have to read the threads in their entirety the missing links for me may be hidden in there.

    @Mark_B_Good  Full disclosure, those toys are not mine.  The dingo, excavator and vacuum were all rentals. 
    Found a crazy rental place that would let me use the excavator for $35 a day on site plus $30 an hour engine time.  The dingo however was my buddies and had it for a 3 day weekend. But when my wife saw how much I got done with it in one weekend with it she almost gave me the go ahead to get one until she saw the prices of them. 25to 30k new depending on attachments.  I only want/need the bucket and forks. I am looking all over for a used one at a reasonable price with one of them.  May take me a few years but I can see one in my future.

    Hey at those rental prices ... no point in buying anything ... and a bottle of wine along with some brisket or pulled pork for your buddy each time you use it will probably keep that option open.

    It has a slow ground speed so if you have far to go it’s just best to carry it

    I got a good deal on it @Sea2Ski and have acquired attachments over the years.
    @SGH I just bought that 6110 a few weeks ago, put a new seat on today. I am excited to hook it to something and see what she’s got.
