A blue is better eating than a channel IMO. The meat is whiter, doesn't have that yellow or gray tint to it.

X2! And I actually prefer a Yellow cats meat on a big fish because there is less stuff to trim off than on a blue. Cut everything that's not white off and discard if you don't you will not like it. I had rather eat a squealer or a big fish over a medium or good eating size as everyone calls them.

I like white cats the best, well out of the river anyways. We feed them at my dad's pond everyday and they taste really good.

Good night man come by the house and I'll give you some fish to eat... Crappie or Shellcracker fillets.

I didn't get to crappie fish much this year. I like catfish, good eating. I'll bring you some Walker if you want to try em.

I've tried them...I guess I've turned into a snob when it comes to fish. We catch the heck out of them blues in June on jugs,we usually float back side of island or state line to train bridge. I probably give away a 1/2 ton of blue in June.

well I'd rather fool with crappie myself too but I'm having to take what I can get.

I completely disagree, prefer a channel to a blue any day and 10X if both are over five pounds.

10-4 I didn't mean to sound like peckerhead... The offer is always good on crappie and shellcracker. On the blue cat I buy the cheap chicken with the skin on and cube it up and pour garlic salt all over it. Wrap meat in skin and nothing can get it off without swallowing it.

I may take you up on some crappie sometime. I wanna learn how to catch them in the summertime. I have a hard time catching anything once they go deep, I don't have any experience doing it.

You catching some good shellcrackers?

Yes but they are about done,we have been wearing them out on the beds but all the females are layed out.I'll pm you about a crappie bite that will last til middle of June.

alright thanks Walker i'll owe you one buddy

I hope to go next Saturday. I took The Boss and MIL to eat at Guntersville State Park. Afterwards we walked out to the restaurant overlook. The lake looked great. If the MIL wasn't visiting, I would have gone back home and hooked up the boat.

I went this afternoon for a little while before the rain got here. We managed to catch ten blues and a gar. All perfect for eating. I think that's 21 blues in two afternoons of fishing.

I am going to try to eat gar one day. I have had it but I didn't cook it.

well I didn't clean the gar, I threw his butt back.

I've heard they have clean white meat, but I ain't gonna find it

No catfish at all on Saturday. Wouldn't even bite on cut skipjack. So tired of fishing where they ain't.

I did learn you can't go slow coming out of Sebold. Dang grass clogged up my water intakes three times before I could reach deeper water. Coming in, I told my passengers to hold on.

Gar is really good. Lookup gar ball recipes. This is how them Cajuns cook them.
