I don't eat fish out of the Florida inland waterways too many chemicals and pesticides, bacteria drain off the land into the water, but some of the locals I know will eat em, that Oscar was about to be thrown to a Pelican when this local fella asked whether he could have it, I gladly gave the fish to him and he thanked me profusely ..I guess they build up an immunity to the diseases from the dirty waters over the years living there .... 1 hour ago, BamaBud said: But how do they taste? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida has been having that scummy algae similar to the California Coast which has been killing off their sea life. I miss fishing, but the lake and river is polluted with the water that came over the dam with Harvey, and then all the bank houses, washed into the waterway. I miss white bass.
