CaN someone shed some lite on rthe subject of the worms fd in trt. Iv been down here and fishing about 4 yrs. now. when i first arrived was told they all have them (the trt) and they are not harmful to "EAT". I pick them out as throughly as possible w/o destroying the filiet. I know im still eating some worms. Any info will be more than I have now. Thanks

The worms are an intermediate stage of a tapeworm that can only develop in a shark. Shark sheds eggs, egg gets into shrimp, trout eats shrimp, intermediate worm grows in trout, shark eats trout, worm develops to maturity and the cycle begins again. The worm can't grow in people. I still cut them out tho, kinda pops like a big zit.

Had fried trt for dinner tonite, aND ate my fill, but I still think about those da-- worms.Too bad someone didnt tell me they were a panhandle delicacy, like those little crabs u find in oysters. Not many kayak reports. Thanks again

Yea yea yea,I look around for my big girl panties. Probably going back to bald pt. Tuesday or wens. Did alright there thwe last two tripa ,the lst 2 weeks. Fishing frm a kayak from the offshore edge of the big sand bar to 3/4 of the way to the first set of channel markers. Some nice trt running around in that zone. been usibg a float/guip rig--had a topwater ready to go but there was too much drifting grass to use it. Rick
