I've done the hot sauce, then Shore Lunch, but never with the mustard. Might be worth a try. The hot sauce/Shore Lunch is really good!

Regular Shore Lunch with fried onions and mushrooms on the side. LB

I used to use beer batter all the time but now usually it's just spices and panko. Seems just as good and way less mess.

Shore Lunch is the way to go!!!

What specifically is unappealing?

What specifically is unappealing?

Rock bass . . .
Not the seasoning
Not the cooking.

But ... I never have tried one. They always get a free pass.
So never have targetted them.
Maybe that was wrong. ??
All the ones I have caught were also on the small side.

Also: I don't know how to "target" freakn' rock bass or if it's possible. They always seem to be "there".

I have zero proof: Back in the day; back in the Hills: "Greg" caught an 8in specimen and decided to release it in his uncle's farm pond. Two years later; he caught it again: "12in/1 1/2lb": That was the last encounter.

The pond is still good for bass and the occasional "white" crappie. Bluegill don't last long. They're either huge or nonexistent: ZERO channel or bullhead catfish: Accidental wisdom?

The pond should get fathead minnows each Fall for fodder under the "ice". It's under new ownership. I hope they don't fuck it up:

Anyways--the point of the thread was BATTER.

That is all.

I always found them in a river, usually in low rocky areas with quite a bit of current.
Now you can target them too!

If you need to put hot sauce on a fish, you need to catch a different fish.....or clean them better.....or do something better, as most fish here in the upper midwest are good to eat given the correct catch conditions and care upon cleaning. IMO.

Andy's for me. Better than shore lunch imo.

Used to catch a few when fishing for sunnies. Cleaned them he same and cooked them the same as panfish, good. LB
