Fishing for flatfish off the dock

Pile Perch are super bony you might use them to make a soup stock but I'd never try to eat one again.

I mean fine hair like bones that are godawful to have in your mouth.

Yes that woud be unpleasant. Couldn't you just de-bone them?

Excellent! Are they good eating? How many will I need fora good meal? And what are the best times to catch them?

I never ate one. I used to put them in a cooler full of water and when I got bored catching them I'd let them go.

We used to use our cabin from May through the end of September, the perch were always there that I remember, but that was 35 - 40 years ago so my memory could be a wee bit askew. LOL

They are dumb enough to be caught over and over? Sounds like a pumpkinseed. My record (and this is in a lake) is the same one 3 times in a row. The only reason it ended there is he got my worm each time.

Do any of you know where along Island view beach is good for shore casting for any sort of eating sized flatfish?
