Mustfa (Abumasgouf) and I went to CBBT (Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel) for tautog. As we noticed while driving on HRBT, the wind forecast was off. The waves caused by the easterly wind was the border line of the safe kayak launch. We might be able to launch the kayaks, but it didn't seem like the wind would calm down in the afternoon as forecasted

So we went to Kiptopeke. We caught few tog under sized (one 13" and two 14") on fresh shrimp and blue crab. We were right about the wind. The wind didn't calm down at all whole day

In the evening we fished for speck at Rudee Inlet for possible specks as we planned. We caught 1 speck @18.5" and a redfish @15"

These videos are bad for me.....I sometimes watch them during a conference call.....then they ask me a question.

Thanks for the report!!

LOL!! Happens to me a lot as well Ernie!

I now fully understand the passion for tog! The anticipation of the tap tap is intense LOL! Totally worth getting up at 3am and driving close to 4 hours just to feel the tap tap! LOL
It's a drug.... I've been dreaming about it all day yesterday!

The best part is I had an awesome teacher to show me the ropes! Everything from rigging, to drifting, to describing the tap tap. I owe so much to Joe. God bless you Joe!

I took the keeper Spec you gave me to my Mom's house for dinner. Of course I roasted it Masgouf style...

and the finish...

The whole family loved it!

Looks good! You are a good man to share that with the whole family.....I would have eaten the whole thing!

Tell me about the spices on it.....

Mustafa's stove always looks so new, wonder if he hits Lowes on the way home from fishing every trip.

LOL! I always bring fish home to mom! She loves fish and a HUGE part of the joy I have bringing fish home is to be able to give it to her!

I usually don't season it with anything except for salt. The smoke from the charcoal and wood adds a lot of flavor. My mom wanted to add more seasoning, and I learned not to say no to mom

She just put a cajun spice rub she got from Whole Foods and an Iraqi/Middle Eastern "secret ingredient," bitter orange (known in Arabic as Narinj). Some specialty Iranian grocery stores have it, and the Korean grocery store may. It adds a nice sweet/sour flavor. Come to think of it, I think they use it in Cuban cooking too... Ernie can you confirm?

LOL!!! The funny thing is you're right on this time! Since I was cooking it at my mom's I had to run to Home Depot and grab some bricks!

Yep! Naranja Agria is what we call it....'bitter orange". It's fabulous on many foods.

I have some reddish flakes that I get at a Turkish Kabob place near me. It's a great spice but I have no idea what it is called. I just know that I like it. Many of the "mezza" places I eat at add it to lentil soup (a favorite of mine).

Ahh yes, its most likely Sumac. Stuff is awesome on many things. It has a nice tart flavor! And if you ever have a really bad stomach bug, eat some plain boiled rice with sumac on it. It will help cure you!

Thanks Bro! You should definitely try it. I got the two "rod racks" from Walmart of all places. It's in the camping section and supposed to be for hot dogs (shrug). The long skewer I got from a middle eastern grocery store but I'm sure can be found online. Get the one with the thinnest (yet sturdy) shaft and get it as long as you can to accommodate different size fish.
