That dazzling million-dollar smile was absolutely priceless. The bright and brilliant young lady, full of determination, showcased remarkable grit in reeling in that formidable redfish. With unyielding spirit and perseverance, she valiantly fought it out till the very end. Six-year-old Jalen has undoubtedly caught the fishing bug and proudly represents the great state of Iowa. We were fortunate enough to catch limits of speckled trout and a spirited jesse redfish, all thanks to the effectiveness of artificial plastic lures. The winning formula lay in the Sea Lantro color, infused with garlic, expertly crafted by A M Lures, a fantastic line of colors and plastics that you can discover further on their page.

Ingredients:

1 or 2 LBS Redfish or any combo of fresh fish

Fresh garlic 3 or 4 cloves Chopped fine

Red onion\green onion\yellow onion\white onion finely chopped or all the above

Cilantro bunch finely chopped

green chili (Anaheim pepper) \ Habanero pepper \chili Serrano pepper \ bell pepper

2 brown eggs

Crushed premium crackers \ Wheatsworth crackers\ Ritz crackers or combination of any bread crumbs

Tabasco sauce

1 tablespoon small capers

Himalayan pink Salt not much because crackers have salt

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Fresh lemon\lime\key limes 2 tablespoons

Cayenne pepper to taste

1 Tablespoon of white sugar or Agave syrup

Coconut oil for frying 2 cups

1 Tablespoon light olive oil

1 teaspoon Paul Prudhomme's redfish blackening powder

Garlic powder, Onion powder, to taste

Cooking:

There are many ways and combinations to mix these spices and vegetables. The sky's the limit so let's go.

In a non-stick skillet place a little olive oil, fish fillets and small amounts of finely chopped garlic, peppers, onion; add a little Tabasco, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, pepper and salt if needed. Cook till done then place to side. This will look and taste great as is but don't eat it yet. Allow to cool a little and drain and save juice.

In a mixing bowl crush 1 or 2 packages of crackers, add 2 eggs, add pre cooked fish, add finely chopped peppers, onion, lemon juice, Tabasco, cayenne pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and pepper to taste. This will probably be a little dry now add fish juices till the mixture is moist and will mold into patties firm enough to deep fry. Heat coconut oil enough to halfway cover patties and fry till golden browned or about 5 minutes each side.

Remove from oil and drain.

Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges or catsup.

Chilled in the refrigerator and served the next day are one of my favorites so make enough for leftovers.

You may substitute any kind of fish or combinations of frozen fish or sardines. My dad tricked me one time with sardines and I loved it. Then and there I had an epiphany! Just thinking how good redfish or trout would be and that is how this recipe came about. After the evolution of the recipe this is the outcome. Rio Grande Redfish Patties.

Mix and match hot peppers or milder peppers till you develop a special mixture of your own, remember the sky's the limit. Use one kind of pepper or onions or all kinds using your imagination. You're gonna love 'em if you like fish or salmon patties; shark; flounder; orange roughy; shrimp; scallops, etc., or any mixture thereof.

South Padre Island is experiencing ideal weather conditions, with temperatures reaching 70 degrees and clear skies, making it perfect for fishing. Recently, anglers have had outstanding success targeting redfish and trophy trout over soft bottom grass beds with mixed potholes, Additionally, cut bait and live bait fishermen have reported steady action on redfish and drum east of Three Islands. The surf fishin is great. Shorelines with soft mud bottoms good, large schools of black drum have been the highlight of the week, with dead shrimp coated in garlic or fish bites proving effective. However, finding them becomes challenging when winds exceed 15 mph, making calm mornings before the cold front the most productive time. Speckled trout near the Intercoastal Waterway have been biting soft plastics, yielding keeper-sized fish. The Intercoastal Waterway is also filled with undersized speckled trout that can provide action with soft plastics or live shrimp on popping corks. Redfish and trout can be found up north along the ICW and into the flats from marker 13 to the mouth of the Arroyo Colorado. Bottom fishing on the gas well flat with cut bait has also yielded redfish when black drum are not present, requiring patience for extended periods. Live shrimp, although scarce, have been occasionally available; it is advisable to procure them a day in advance due to high demand on weekends. The South Bay Channels have also produced catches of black drum, as reported by Captain Cliff Fleming of Crystal Flats Guide Service.
