good stuff matt,what do you season the bass with?

That cornmeal mix has the seasoning in it. If we use a regular cornmeal out of the bag, it is yellow cornmeal (or buttermilk cornmeal mix (has some flour in it), and season it to taste (I mix it in the cornmeal rather than put the seasoning on the fish) with Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (in the seasonings isle at most groceries, certainly a Wal-Mart). I roll the fish in egg batter, then the dry cornmeal mix and fry. The okra we drain, then simply roll in the cornmeal and fry.

I use to fly over that lake during flight training, the sugar factories always made it smell bad.. Enjoy your trip
