Nancy Trenz  Newburgh, NY

This nice early season striper was caught by Nancy the wife of Capt. Bob.  She boated it after a 15 minute struggle in which she exclaimed "this fish is really ticking me off".  Of course she is all smiles after it is in the boat thanks to some nifty boat handling by the Capt.as an incoming tide started to push us under the Newburgh Beacon Bridge.  Although the trip only yielded two other smaller fish whenever you get a chance to boat one this size it is really a lot of fun.  Good job Nancy.                                

Today's Recipe

Grilled Bass Fillet with Tomato Juice, Lemon Slices and Onion

Large bass fillet, 1/2 pound per preson

1 medium onion

1 lemon thinly sliced

1 cup tomato juice

6 drops Tabasco (to taste)

Salt and pepper

       Leave skin on fillet, and preheat broiler or grill.  Liberally salt and pepper fish., brush with Tabasco-laced tomato juice, cover with onion and lemon slices, baste again and broil until the fish flakes, basting occasionally.  Do not turn fish.  On the grill, close the lid between bastings and cook until the fish flakes.  A dish of wilted dandelion greens or spinach with bacon and mashed potatoes would be great with this.
