MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
OK - enough - now you folks are making me hungry! great notes on the smoking - would really appreciate if you can explain/show the butterfly method to remove bones - we have always left them whole - but its a bit of a pain with the kids - to be careful with the bones.Now speaking of fish - we regularly use Ciscos/tulibee to make something really close to pickled herring- if anyone wants the recipe - let me know its pretty simple.Thanks all.
Heard that their are sandy beaches nicer than Grand. People don't realize that this is the 12th largest freshwater lake in the world and is 30% larger than Lake Ontario and almost as big as Lake Erie.

Marsh has been froze over for 2 weeks. Mike and I are going to try for some of those big fat northerns. I saved some 2lb. white fish forbait. Hope there are still some interest in our north basin, as that's really where they're at. The pickerel has been crazy. 2 million kg's harvested this fall, andhas been getting better every day. Will be an awesome winter. Tons of white fish showing up. JUST NEED HOOKS
M.I.M. I got to try a sample of your smoked whitefish on the banks of the Assiniboine today. Best I have had in a long time. Great job you definitely got it dialed in.....Skoal
