Corey Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 The 5 fillet method is much easier if you ask me. There is a video out there but the site seems to be down at this point. If I can find another copy of it floating around somewhere. cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsa Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I know the video you mean Cory, but yes, the site is not there, been trying to access it for 20 minutes to provide the link. And, I do prefer the 5 fillet version of filleting a pike. A little bit of wastage of meat, but not much. The one brifshrgy posted may save a bit more flesh. Not much, but every bit helps.

Guest gbfisher Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 5 bone method is the best way. A lot easier. Look up 5 bone pike method on google. Its in french but you will see it is way easier to cut. Good luck. Pike are a fish I look forward to eating every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clampet Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thanks for the weblink. The last time I cleaned Pike I could have used that chart. http://books.google.ca/books?vid=ISBN08657...TJg93ZeiGXtScbI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelly Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 The only problem I have is the back. If I go too deep, I still have the y-bones and if I don't, lots of wasted meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Snowball, That is the video I was looking for. fishingbuddys site is down, glad you found it. Nelly, I haven't had that issue yet, you just have to take your time getting down to the right depth. You can stick you fingers into the initial cut to feel for the bones. cd.
