limeyangler Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Hi All, Went out for some more whitefish action, got some nice trout too. When the whitefish bite is on it cant be beat for fun IMO, especially when all the fish are between 22"and 25". A couple of times we thought we had trout on when in fact it was a whitefish, when they want to fight they are no slouches! Fish were all from 38'FOW, live bait was not popular with the feeeeshes yesterday, with white tube jigs from 4" to 1" taking all the fish, occasionally these were tipped with a minnow chunk for some FLAVA. It was a morning bite with a real quiet spell of about an hour when the smelt all but dissappeared from screen. The fish were still there but not one would bite, apart from 2 'bumps' from what appeared to be Lakers higher up the water column. Then....like magic the switch was flicked back to 'ON' and for the last hour from 12-1pm we got a few more whitefish and a trout.

(released to breed and fight again ) ANOTHER NICE LAKER I thought i'd put together a recipe video of my whitefish stew that we had last night....fresh fish...anyway you do it is good but I kinda came by it by accident a year ago when i decided i wanted to eat fish other than fried. I had recently returned from France at the time and had had the opportunity to have some excellent fish soup while there. I thought i'd try to recreate the soup with a 'clam' twist as I make spaghetti vongole (clam sauce) often and always have the ingredients for it at home. I also added some shrimp to the mix cuz there were some in the freezer and my wife loves them. Basically throw it all into the tomato soup and cook......really good served with fresh garlic bread.

skeeter Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Sorry to hear you had a ruff day of fishing Simon. Better luck next time.
Leecher Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Serious full action pack fishing episode in the first vid Simon Lots of great looking fishes.... a great mix bag Second video was like watching "Cooking with Yan" except it's with Simon Great recipe dude My mouth is watering right now Awesome job to the both of you Thanks for sharing Jacques Edited March 6, 2011 by Leechman
Joeytier Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 I'm definitely going to try some variant of that recipe. I'd imagine any light-fleshed fish would be fine. Thanks for the report!
icefisherman Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Now, I knew you are great fisherman.,...and even better video operator (how in the world you manage to catch two fish and film them both at the same time?!?)....but now I can see you are also a great cooker ....bullet proof against any recession Hot to show the recipe to my wife as we are always looking for new ways to cook white fish.... Have I mentioned before I wish you were close (or I was) so I can pay you a visit once....guaranteed fun I am sure ha ha ha Thanks for the viewing pleasure as always Cheers, Ice Fisherman
Whitespinnerbait Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 A Phenomenal outing right there MATE
BUSTER Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Nice trout...I nabbed one white today missed one fish and my friend got one to the hole and lost it... Wish I was on the lakers like you.
bluesky1713 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 What brand/kind of tubes are those that you're using for the lakers, Limey? I really like that size.
ehg Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Wow! Everything about this report is top notch. The camera work,the fish, the comments, the cooking...etc. Haven't heard of vongole sauce since i worked in hotel kitchen. Very well executed Thanks for the effort.
trapshooter Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Nice work Simon. We didn't hit them as well the day after you were there. Going back tomorrow though! I saw a 36.5" trout landed (and released) last week.
limeyangler Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 looks like it was fun.... now I am hunnnngry again It was a blast Splash.....i love whitefish...especially when they are numerous and hungry! Those lakers are beauties!! WOW. If I get me some whities I might just have to try that recipe out Thanks JB.....lovin your new profile pic man!!! Sorry to hear you had a ruff day of fishing Simon. Better luck next time. Sucks to be me eh? I'll try and do better for ya Captain That whitefish recipe looks delicious! It aint bad....i'm still at the experimental stages with it....but i'm getting there. Serious full action pack fishing episode in the first vid Simon Lots of great looking fishes.... a great mix bag Second video was like watching "Cooking with Yan" except it's with Simon Great recipe dude My mouth is watering right now Awesome job to the both of you Thanks for sharing Jacques Thanks Jacques, lol...dunno who or what cooking with Yan is...oh well. I'm definitely going to try some variant of that recipe. I'd imagine any light-fleshed fish would be fine. Thanks for the report! I imagine it would be.....the think i like about whitefish for a stew type recipe is that it is a firm meaty flesh that does not disintegrate when cooked in liquid, i'd imagine walleye would just fall apart. Now, I knew you are great fisherman.,...and even better video operator (how in the world you manage to catch two fish and film them both at the same time?!?)....but now I can see you are also a great cooker ....bullet proof against any recession Hot to show the recipe to my wife as we are always looking for new ways to cook white fish.... Have I mentioned before I wish you were close (or I was) so I can pay you a visit once....guaranteed fun I am sure ha ha ha Thanks for the viewing pleasure as always Cheers, Ice Fisherman OK....that is one of the most generous replies i've had, Thanks man

Off to the grocery store for supplies, better get a whitefish or 2 on the weekend. LOL...well they are certainly 'slimey' enough to be a Lawyer...lol(sorry to any Lawyers on the board)
Aaron Shirley Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Very cool report, just wish I could see the vids at work. Sounds like a good day out. I'll have to watch the vids when I'm at home, really interested in the recipe. I'm looking for a healthier way to eat them, as I only know how to cook fish one way, fried in breading!
