We fished from the shore on the Detroit River in Ecorse. Caught a few white bass and had a nice dinner that evening! We took the skin off before we pan fried them. This helps yo reduce the fishy taste.
Thanks for posting this. My son and I are going to head down to Ecorse and the river to try. We did pretty good off Lake Erie this weekend. So you are fishing minnows? How large of a hook are you using. Thanks again really enjoyed this.
The white bass taste a lot better if the red/dark meat on the fillets are removed. It gives the fish fillet a bad taste and detracts from the fine taste of the remaining white meat. Also the Detroit Refuge fishing pier in Trenton just south of where you fished produces excellent white bass numbers (25 limits) and sizes (17 inches) . Give it a try next spring season run....usually starts first part of May.
We are definitely going to try out Trenton next spring and thank you for the fillet tips! We had a lot of fun in Ecorse and everyone that was fishing from the shore was helpful in giving us tips!
