I was driving home from Miami today, and got a phone call. My neighbor had been fishing today in the Gulf, out of Suwanee, and said he dropped off a cooler full of fish in my garage. Two nice Redfish, two Sea Trout, and three Black Drum. They are cleaned and in the 'fridge now. What a great neighbor, eh? ![[Linked Image]](http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt349/Knocky/2016%20Second%20Half/Fish_zpsskexhkhn.jpg)

did not see a worm in any of the drum. Surprised me. Nice, clean filets.
Suwanee is a great place to fish from. I am happy some others like you, know the place and appreciate how nice it is.

It was a great place to visit as a kid. Not sure we'd swim in the creek today with all the gators! My grandparents with bass caught on two consecutive days out in front of their house. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/Fishing/Fish.jpg)

Put fresh fillets in a glass dish, salt lightly, and leave overnight. Next morning take the fillets out and pick off any worms you see. The rest will be in the dish...
Virtually all fish have more worms than you can imagine. Salt trick works for all of them.

Good looking reds, Sam. Bet those went down well. When the black drum get worms, it's almost always the bigger ones (much bigger than the ones Sam's pictured) and it's also almost always in the heat of the summer. They're protein, too. Just make a little snap, crackle, pop when you filet the fish.  Fry em up... never know the difference.

We had oven baked Redfish last night. Meyer Lemon butter on the side, some Tony Chacere's seasoning and olive oil on the filets. They were VERY tasty. Broccoli with lemon butter, and some of that wonderful Minnesota blonde wild rice on the side. I sauteed portobello mushrooms in butter, olive oil and 15 year old Port Wine, and folded those into the mushrooms. ![[Linked Image]](http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt349/Knocky/2016%20Second%20Half/Wild%20Rice%202_zps2ctfmxde.jpg)

That sounds like a great friend.
I have not had the good fortune to have eaten any of the three.
BUT
Would in a heartbeat!
