It Has Wings and It Croaks. And, Yeah, It's a Fish.

Steve Junker

Perhaps the strangest fish you can pull out of our local waters is the sea robin. Maybe those aren't really wings, but they do look like them. And it has feelers. And for sure, it does croak.

This week on the Fishing News, sea robins are around in abundance at the moment. We give them their proper moment of attention (Edible? You bet.)  Also, next week brings the "new moon in June" - an annual event that many striper fishermen mark on the calendar months in advance. And of course, we round up the fishing action. Give it a listen.
