Recently someone posted they would be at Emerald this past week. Can’t remember who. My neighbor was on Bouge Inlet pier Saturday but fishing in the surf. Fresh shrimp is all he used. 164 nice mullets. Our limit in NC is 200 per day.

That’s amazing, Troy.
I’ve never had mullet. Are they good eating? What kind of meat are they?
Thanks for your service, my friend.

Jer some people call them whiting. Very good table fare. I think it’s white meat. Yes Airborne all the way. Thanks I did most of my 34 years in 82nd so we were gone a lot. Still had to maintain jump status. I have 6 combat jumps.

Thanks for following up.
I served with the 5/81st Airborne Artillery, 8th ID in Europe. That was my only Airborne assignment in 21 years.
I’d do it all again.
Thank you for your service.
