Deal Bud

thanks !!I just don't kill something i don't make use of

They are slimy buggers, but easy to clean. I let them freeze a bit if I can, but if not just grab a dish towel. My fav. way to eat them is baked with ritz crackers on top, then a white wine butter sauce. But they are great in a bunch of different ways. I have grilled them on the ice with just XVOO and Cajun seasonings, delicious that way. I never fried them but it would be good too I'm sure. You are in MD now right? The closest fish taste and texture wise is Monk Fish. Don't let looks fool you, they are delicious and in a lot of states they are highly prized.

. 

Yup moved down to MD two years ago. I have never ha monk fish before your recipes sound pretty good. It's funny you move to different states what there delicacy foods are. The new fish down here is snake head.  I tried it this spring it wasn't bad not a good as eye or perch but better then other fish iv had.  They aren't much better looking then a butbot just got big chopers lol.

   Give Monk fish a try, or even Cod. They are actually a cod

Whats the biggest Burbot you local Oneida guys have ever heard of coming out of Oneida Lake?  I got one last season was only like 24 inches, but from what I've seen they do get huge.  There's some big burbots out Mid-West, I would imagine theres some big boys in Oneida given all the food base.

[hesseltine32]

has any one used or had much luck with the custom jigs an spins lightning soon?

Couldn't prove that one by me, when Snagger and I carried him across 100 feet of open water because you told him to kneel on his shanty and kick  That was a good one Fred, I may try that sometime, as long as I can find a likely suspect!!!!! I'd like to reade places with you and roll on the bank LMAO
