After our recent successes in the MDRA Charter trips many members need newer ideas on How to Cook up your catch.
Hope you like this one.

Ocean's Delight: Crisp Fish Fillets in Luscious Cream
Ingredients:
4 white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup flour, for dusting
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, juiced and zested
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Directions:
Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper, then dust lightly with flour.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter. Add the fish and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, garlic, and shallot. Sauté until fragrant and soft.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the fish to the pan and spoon the sauce over. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and dill before serving.

Looks like a good solution for your gauge.
#repost @gilrockit
"California regulations require a lobster gauge for every person hooping for lobster, I have been doing this for a long time seems like they always get lost or misplaced!! @gearkeeperproducts keeps your lobster gauge attached to you all night!"

We are proud of our MDRA pens and all the many volunteers in our #MDRAnglers club who give lots of time and sweat to make this happen. Well done to all involved. Thank you @HubbsReseach!
The first hatchery-reared white seabass of 2025 have been recaptured by the #Graylight and #AlohaSpirit out of #ChannelIslandsSportfishing!
Huge thanks to our grow out volunteers, anglers, and boat crews for reporting tagged fish!

Cool little example of casting with a spinning reel. Like what we use in the MDRA Youth Fishing program. Good tips for newbie anglers & our newest Lady Anglerettes.
Practice with your rod at home in the yard or a nearby park. We often do underhand casts from the Betty-O.
Casting is simple:
1️⃣ Hold the rod, so the reel is below the rod.
2️⃣ Hold the line up to the rod with your forefinger. Then open the bail, continuing to hold the line.
3️⃣ Pull the rod back, and swiftly bring it forward, releasing your finger that is holding the line.
4️⃣ Once the line is in water, close the bail.
