Sea Robbins
Fished the Westport River this morning and I've never seen such a concentration of Sea Robbins just inside and outside the mouth. I couldn't get a jig down to the bottom in the hope of finding some fluke without hooking up. Everyone I brought up had a number following and the depth finder was full of them, so I'm wondering if they are gathering to breed. These were some of the biggest ones I've caught and fun on light tackle, until I had to unhook. Anyone eating these?

They are one of the most underrated fish to eat in our waters.
The meat is similar to monk fish texture and consistency, lots of meat in the body/tail.
I had em chasing top water baits this spring in the bay in Bristol, caught a couple big ones on small plastics while targeting bass.
Guess they're in thick everywhere lately

I've eaten them a few times and definitely would again. They are definitely underrated when it come to the table.

I've eaten sea robin as a novelty and discovered they're pretty tasty. I heard they're especially good in fish chowders. Latest issue of OTW has a photo of battered sea robin.

I catch about 4-5 everyday while walking my dog. They love surface stuff at low tide. They follow quite a ways before taking and are quite a sight with spread wings while doing so. Sometimes you can get two on a single plug. Still can't find the courage to keep one and eat it, however.
