You can't beat a good mixture.  Add walleye to the mix and you're good to go.

i go to the pond because you can get a nice mixed bag of fish. yes i prefer crappies but you can not beat a nice mess of blue gills and perch. crappies are a bonus!

That is a tough call ... I'd have to go with Bluegills! Then Perch and Crappie ... although Waldos are at the very top of the list!

Perch fist, crappie second, but both are excellent table fair.

Perch first, just because don't get scales everywhere when you fillet them.

Post by: Grady95 on Jan 16, 2010, 01:12 PM
You know, if you stop and figure how much it costs to go out and catch them, what with the cost of gas, bait, tackle, time out of work and family, these fish are probably worth $250/lb!  ;)
At those prices, any fish dumb enough to hit my presentation is likely to find it's way into the fryer!
Open wide fishy, the doctor's here ;D ;D

pickerel, mmm tasty
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie
Post by: jigginking22 on Feb 01, 2010, 09:35 PM
i would go with perch because, for one i havent really caught alot of crappie and two, iv never had it before. i love perch thouhg, i cook it on a frying pan with alot of butter, some garlic salt, and some cajun pepper because i like the spice! im assuming that cooking crappie is done the same way?
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie
Post by: fishermantim4 on Feb 01, 2010, 09:39 PM
fresh their both great, but crappie are best when fresh. if they were frozen once they both taste the same. i dont know why crappie just dont have the same zahh after being frozen to me
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie
Post by: pondskipper on Feb 01, 2010, 09:47 PM
Yeah i have to go with perch now that i have had crappie. I think perch are so much easier to clean. I do have to say i would not turn either one down. I clean them rinse them and drain them. then get a gallon bag fill it 1/4 of the way full. then add black pepper, buck seasoning,and some garlic salt. then I add the fillets to the bag and shake it then put in frying pan with about 1/2 inch of vegtable oil.
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie

I'm willing to here some other recipies if you guys are willing to share them.
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie
Post by: auger in on Feb 01, 2010, 09:55 PM
Depends on the day.  Some days I catch perch and I like them the best on those days.  Some days I catch Crappie and those days I like them the best.
If I catch a mixed bag of crappie and perch I like crappie and perch the best, that day.

Post by: klino2280 on Feb 01, 2010, 10:17 PM
Carp? hope that was sarcasm.......What ever ends up on the line- ends up in the bucket as long as its legal....from the bucket to the fillet table. Its tough to beat lightly breaded perch though.
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie
Post by: klino2280 on Feb 01, 2010, 10:21 PM
Pondskipper, try flouring the fillets, then dropping them in an egg wash with a bit of Tabasco or some Franks, then lightly breading them with fresh rosemary in with the bread crumbs.

I get a lot more perch than crappie, so I get a little more excited about crappies.  They do taste different, both great.  Probably mostly in my head, but I would have to say crappie.       
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie
Post by: perchman47 on Feb 01, 2010, 11:24 PM
ive caught both and i have eaten both. i like perch better because they are so much easier to clean. it takes me the same amount of time to clean 25 crappies as 50 perch. and way more scales too. but crappies are a treat every now and then, and they add some variety
Title: Re: Perch or Crappie
Post by: ICEMAN73 on Feb 01, 2010, 11:29 PM
Never had Gill.  I cant get them to bite.  I watch them all the time looking at my bait.  They look tasty :(

I used to think Bass was nasty (small mouth) until a friend of my taught me how to bleed them out while still alive.  5 gallon bucket, fill it half way, stick your finger in the gill area and yank out 1 or 2 of the red thingys.  Kinda mean but makes um tasty...  Lakers do taste like poop.  I smoked a big large mouth once and man that was good!!

Walleyes under 212" ... WOW that's over 17 1/2 feet long!  Might get expensive mounting that one ... need at least a 4 ft. hole too ;D

... no seriously, I agree ... under 21" for walleye for me too from most waters ... let the "big breeder grandma wallies" go I say.  Although one nice 14# walter for the wall would be nice ...
