Hertzy...the nerve of tbob not giving you coordinates Confused

South side East end of the island in about 55 FOW next to the lobster pot.
They have been doing very well on the sea bass in front of Misq beach.
Couple pictures of the day. The last picture even shows you the lobster pot buoy behind me Wink

I was looking for a different way to prepare the fluke and sea bass
came across this recipe, the wife cooked it up according to the directions and it's delicious. Give it a try sometime.
I think she only used 1 can of evaporated milk though. It was plenty creamy enough with just the one.
