MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Go on You Tube and do a search on "filleting pike with no bones". It is easy once you see how to do it and you end up with 5 fillets off each fish that are boneless. As a rule it works best with pickerel that are over 22 inches.
....Pickerel are found in basically every lake in PA and love minnows so good luck.
I like to pickle them. The vinegar dissolves bones completely
not true. they are not native to the alleghany river watershed (much of the west part of the state). I'm not sure but don't think their are in lake erie either. (I've heard of one small exception in the Erie area). I TOTALLY would love to catch one. they sound real scrappy. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd want to keep it. I've tried pike and while I can get some boneless fish out of a larger pike, it don't have the knack for it.
Hey ski hunter, Other than Lily lake is there any other public lakes in NEPA with northerns in it?
