Here is walleye done a lil differently.

Its just seasoned and baked. Its was a few years back and i cant remember the seasoning, but i can remember it was darn good!

I dont have a favorite per say. I love to cook so im always trying new things.

That dish of your looks amazing!!!!

I have everything here but the saltcod, i just might have to make this tomorrow with a different fish

I guess i do have a favorite kinda. Nothing beats shorelunch after a l9ng day on the water.

Food just tasted so good out in the bush lol

This is homefries with onion, battered crappie, maple baked beans and an egg

Not to take away from the thread,

But if you "squat" as you call it, do you have to move the trailer everyso often? Like a shack

Hope it all works out for ya's

I have kids.

They have a magical power to wake up at 6 everyday. Timechange doesnt even effect it.

Mystical

I stand corrected Canuck2fan, only 1/2 as bad. It's like saying I only drank 1/2 of a 40 pounder.

This made me chuckle. So true???

Dynamic_bear and I witnessed a tornado in his first year of tree plant. I remember it had been ultra dry weather for about a week and this day was exceptionally hot. We could hear the thunder off in the distance and I was getting excited. I kept thinking 'a dash of rain will be perfect to cool things off'. It was more then a dash of rain, trees were blowing over, logs were getting tossed around. We hid behind a slash pile under tubs to protect ourselves. Thankfully no one was hurt.

 

After the storm, I'm walking along the path and Dynamic_bear is on the bus going the other way. He says 'Jer, are you quitting?'

I respond 'I'm going to get more trees'

Nice!!!

If ya wanna try something different and refreshing, try just using flour to coat your fillets, then coat generously with seasoning salt. Fry in coconut oil.

I was fishing the south bay of Lake nipissing about 7 plus years ago. I was on the west side where the mouth of the south river meets the lake. Was trolling for "eyes" when I saw about 10 to 15 large cruisers rushing inland. By the time I got me gear locked up and moved east to see over the treeline it was to late. A major storm blew threw and I rushed with my little 9.9 hp and 16ft tinner rented from fish bay into an empty boat house. I knew the area and the one boat house was only a few years old. Good call cause the other one that I could have hid in actually was blown over. Not sure if it was a twister or not but when you are in a boat house with a tin roof in a major storm it is pretty well the scariest thing possible.

 

When the storm passed and I got out, it was crazy the damage. Boat houses, boats, docks and trees all over the place. Took 5 hours on lk nipissing rd to to get out because of the tree limbs littered on the roads.

Man that would be scary!

Ive been near three tornados in my life and they are so crazy! Only one on the water though.

I was fishing a small inland lake with my mom and dad. A storm popped up quick and we hit shore quickly.

That was insane. Within minutes it was completely black. My mom and i held each other down while looking for shelter. It was kinda like what id assume walking on the moon is like lol.

Trees crashed all around us for a good 3 minutes or so and in the dark it was very scary.

And as quick as it came it was over. As the sun came back out it was a miracle nobody was hit by a tree. Trees over everywhere.

But about 100 yards away every tree seemed to be broken at the same angle. I think that was the tornados path.

Scary stuff indeed

They are much more sensitive now M2B. I use one for perch in 30 foot plus deep water and yet it's stiff enough in the backbone for Smallmouth. Just don't bend it in half like the old TV commercial.

Yeah i figured they had changed over the years.

Lol

Im sure uglysticks have changed over the years, but I still have two from when I was a kid.

Only thing id ever use them for is panfish and small walleye.

They are small rods though, i think a 5'6" and a 6'.

Its actually hilarious how durable those rods are

No sensitivity at all though

I consider myself a bass angler but in all honesty I spend more time chasing other fish.

Especially now that the zone 5 regs changed last year. Bass here used to be open all year(which was awesome)

Now its walleye/pike/crappie/lake trout and whities through the ice, which is a blast.

Eager for spring to come though for big walleye and big ice out pike!

I shorefish alot too but i dont know that area at all.

Pike can be a ton of fun from shore!!!!

Take a look at musky first often the rods you will want 86 minimum my opinion will come up - don't go any shorter - I like the big nasty and sling blade I have winch on sling and tranx on nasty.

Darn. I was gonna wait but im so tempted to order lol.

Thanks for all the advice!

Ill be honest i love walleye and bass and pike, i just need a new thrill

We stay at Bill Sandy Blackhawk Camp but we play scatter and drive all over the place love the traqual and north passage areas we could meet at wiley point PM me

 

if you didn't see saric show you missed out on me netting his fish and catching one myself a few weeks ago!

Ill have to look that up, doesnt sound familiar?

Def game for a beer and a chat!

 

Looks like your starting out big time LOL

Well I fish alot lew.

Id rather pay once up front then numerous times down the road.

Do it right the first time lol.

Ive saved for this for along time so....

And now a revo toro winch...

Ill calm down now and order rods in a few weeks.

So is is pretty universal to go with a 8' and a 8'6"?

500 down the drain.

Just ordered a tranx?

Time to practice the righty lol

Thx for the laugh Garnet.

 

 

You guys are killing me. Another one I'll have to try. The boss might not be happy when I make fish 3 times in one week

 

Truthfully with fresh...not frozen perch... my hands down favourite is plain old original Fish Crisp. With a squeeze of lemon and a few grinds of salt & pepper. With a side of Maple baked beans or homemade slaw.

Always, always maple baked beans. ALWAYS!!!

Will do Manitou

Miigwich lew!

Watchin some highlights on youtube right now.

Man im amped!!! Cant wait for my first muskie season

 

The only fishing show I ever watch is Saric, but haven't seen it on the tube in months and thought maybe it had been cancelled so I'll have to start looking for it again.

If ya find it let me know please.

Today's Musky Hunter episode was on LOTW with Bill Sandy. It was worth watching, especially if you are going to be fishing there. Double 10s are obviously a go to lure. Saric says he favours a selection of double 10s, a couple shallow invaders, a black bulldawg, a jerkbait ( he pushes Phantoms) and a shallow raider crankbait.

Uggh. I dont get wfn(is that whats its on?)

Saric is an animal

Think i might just order some of his videos today

Id do mine in flour, egg wash, then panko.

Thats the staple, but ive done a million different batters or crisps.

Crushed up doritos are good too!

Year one at Lake of the woods if I could start all over heres what I would have

 

Big Nasty

Revo Toro Winch 60/61

150 PLB mono leader

Handlebarz LoTW Special (just ask Mike to make one) - plus Silver Black and chartreuse Black (3 colours)

Oriellys glide baits - catches a few but finds all the ones for the baits above (two colours) Gold with orange and black with orange

Hosebait

 

What dax said - knipex, Big kahuna, pliers, Camera and no one mentioned loads of sunscreen/lip stuff.

 

You will get one greater that 40 for sure - and listen to Fisherpete he did the guide trip with Andrew there last year and slayed them

 

have a great time we will be there in July again come have a beer

Where do youse stay cowanjo?

I can't believe its not been mentioned yet, most important gear to have for Muskie...Proper release tools. #1 a good Muskie specific net, Frabill Big Game, or Big Kahuna(deep boats). Long nose pliers, and most importantly HOOK CUTTERS. Knipex brand mini bolt cutters are worth the extra $$, CT mini 8'' bolt cutters are better than nothing...

Hey hey hey!!!!

Probably wasnt mentioned because its winter still lol.

Ill be getting frabill big game and knipex for sure. I got the pliers already.

Man im excited!!!!

First year goal is to get some 40's(hopefully)

Anything bigger will be a big bonus.

Frig thanks guys!

Lets keep this thread going, for educational purposes.

When i searched the site i found alot of conflicting info. So far this one is gold?

Go out with Darcy Cox. You will learn a ton.

Gotta contact #?
