Seafood Au Grautin
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup butter, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 pound fresh crabmeat
4 cups water
1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 pound small scallops
1/2 pound flounder fillets
3 cups milk
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce
¾ Cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a heavy skillet, sauté the onion and the
pepper in 1/2 cup of butter. Cook until tender. Mix
in 1/2 cup of the flour, and cook over medium heat
for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in
crabmeat, remove from heat, and set aside.
2. In a large Dutch oven, bring the water to a boil.
Add the shrimp, scallops, and flounder, and simmer
for 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking
liquid, and set the seafood aside.
3. In a heavy saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 cup
butter over low heat. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup
flour. Cook and stir constantly for 1 minute.
Gradually add the milk plus the 1 cup reserved
cooking liquid. Raise heat to medium; cook, stirring
constantly, until the mixture is thickened and
bubbly. Mix in the shredded Cheddar cheese, vinegar,
Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
Stir in cooked seafood.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Lightly grease one 9x13 inch baking dish. Press

pan. Spoon the seafood mixture over the crabmeat
crust, and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or
until lightly browned. Serve immediately. |

Larger
Baits for Trout
I’ve told the story of my son’s first fish over the
last several years to everyone I know. Not only because it was his
first fish and the great experience of it all, but also because of
the size of the fish a, 22” trout. When I worked in a tackle shop
many years ago it was always interesting to see what types of bait
people used for different species of fish. More often than not, when
it came to trout lures, they always seemed concerned about not
getting something too large.

From the Dolphin
Research Newsletter - Is the U.S.
Dolphin Fishery Changing?
Since the start of the Dolphinfish Tagging Study
fishermen have been asking whether the dolphin fishing is declining.
This is a hard question to answer. The biggest issue faced in the
management of the U.S. dolphinfish stock(s) is the absence of
quality harvest data from domestic fisheries as well as foreign
fisheries in the Bahamas and Caribbean Sea. Few coastal states
collect data on oceanic pelagic game fish, and those that do use
diverse sampling procedures, making it impossible to combining their
data sets for a comprehensive look. Only one recreational fisheries
survey captures data on the dolphin fisheries on the entire U.S.
Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Marine Recreational Fisheries
Statistical Survey (MRFSS) is a national survey contracted out by
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)
National Marine Fisheries Service, Statistics Division.
MRFSS utilizes direct intercept of fishermen at the end
of their fishing day coupled with a telephone survey to generate the
basic fisheries catch and effort data. Because this sampling is done
on such a small scale and data are summarized into broad categories
for types of fishing, state fisheries managers place little
credibility in this survey when looked at on a state level. Its
greatest value results.

Angler Trumps New
State Record For African Pompano
A Mt. Pleasant angler has broken the saltwater marine
game state
record for an African pompano a mere 13 days after the 11 year was
recently trumped.
Bryan Powell caught the 43 pound 8 ounce African
pompano on Monday
June 16th off the coast of Charleston near the Comanche hole in
about
100 feet of water. The new record beat the previous record set a
mere
13 days earlier by angler Steve Bagnall of Vancouver WA on June 3rd
by
five and a half pounds.
Powell, 38, headed off shore with owner and charter
boat captain
of Yates Sea Charters, David Yates, on his twin engine 31'
Contender.
Powell was enjoying the day fishing with his father, Mike Powell
visiting from Arlington, Texas. The record fish was landed in about
20
minutes using a 7 foot Star rod paired with a Baitrunner Shimano
reel
and using a menhaden for bait. Captain Yates was aware of the record
African pompano caught just days before by angler Bagnall, and knew
this
monster had a good shot at tipping the scale to make this the new
state
record fish. The fish was weighed in at Mt. Pleasant Seafood on
their
certified scale by Joe Shisko, a fish monger at the fish house.
Fisheries Biologist and State Record Marine Game Fish Program
Coordinator Amy Dukes verified the new state record the following
morning.

Game fish,

Twenty-one Year White
Perch State Record Tied
Results are in and the South Carolina Freshwater State
Record for
white perch has been tied. Due to the extreme size of the catch, the
S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) completed genetic
certification that the 1 pound 15.2 ounce white perch caught near
the
Allison Creek boat ramp on Lake Wylie was not a hybrid of some sort.
With conclusive evidence now in hand, Mr. Rodger Taylor of Rock
Hill has officially been listed as a co-holder of the state record.
At
approximately 9 a.m. the morning of January 21, 2007, Mr. Taylor was
able to catch the record tying fish using a small piece of cut shad
on a
single #6 hook with split shot.
The previous holder of the record was Mr. Chris Epting of Chapin,
SC who caught a 1 pound 13.5 ounce white perch over 21 years earlier
on
January 12, 1986. Due to variations in scales and timing in which
official weights are taken, to replace an existing state record for
fish
weighing less than 25 pounds, one's catch must exceed the previous
weight by more than 2 ounces. Anything less during the official
weight
is considered a tie and the applicant becomes listed as a co-holder
of
the state record.
All freshwater fish records for South Carolina can be found online
at dnr.sc.gov/fish/freshrecs/records.html
To report your record breaking catch, an Affidavit for Record
Freshwater Game Fish must be completed and submitted to the DNR no
more
than 45 days after the catch. To learn more visit SCDNR website at
dnr.sc.gov/fish/freshrecs/fishrecord.pdf.

The Final Word |
The
fishing this past week has been good with some really nice
reports coming from inshore and some scattered reports from
offshore as well. Inshore the trout, redfish and flounder
are very active. There are some good reports of Spanish
mackerel in the harbor and around the jetties. The
sheepshead fishing around the docks and jetties in
consistent using live fiddler crabs for bait. The spadefish
are on the nearshore reefs and there are also come nice
cobia being caught around the reefs. The king mackerel
fishing is good around areas of live bottom from 45-90’ of
water. Offshore the dolphin are pretty consistent and the
sailfish bite is really turning on. There are also some nice
reports of marlin and the bottom fishing is still going
strong. Keep an eye on the weather for pop-up storms and
look out for your fellow boater.
Tight
lines…
