Went offshore St. Aug with a buddy on sunday, and we were striking out all over the place, until we moved out to 25+ miles Thought I saw a Cobe come under the boat as we were pulling up to spot, so I grabbed my new baitrunner that already had a jig on. Hooked up pretty quick near the bottom in 100' and the drag started burning. After a pretty long battle (got him to the surface 3 times and he ran back down each time, using his head as leverage), I got a nice surprise. My first Aftrican Pompano. I was stoked on what was otherwise a slow day..... Unfortunately we got covered up in BIG cudas shortly after

How is the meat? Like pompano? AJ? Dolphin?
I just had Rainbow Runner for the first time and it was surprisingly good. It has the consistency of salmon, but a neutral flavor kind of like dolphin. ------------------------- I was right. |

Somewhere between pompano and Dolphin I guess...... Not as good as the former, but better than the latter. WAY better than AJ...... and hot box bonitas I gave a bunch to my parents and I had dinner with them. I think it was a little over marinated, (Like you would do if you were keeping a Bonita ) but the texture was excellent. There's more (albeit in the freezer now) so I'll try something different next time
We once caught a Rainbow Runner trolling in the keys.... very good. Supposedly makes great sushi. |
