Hey, new to the site, figured I'd quit trolling and join. Thought I'd start off with a report.Hit Waramaug at the state park on Friday (yeah, I know, old news) afternoon after work. I had a bit of a bait kill the few days prior due to weather ups and downs, and was surprisingly left with almost all chunky large shiners. Wasn't what was ideal, since I was sorta looking for perch and maybe an odd trout, but I figured at least we'd see some lake snakes, and we weren't disappointed. Pulled up 4 large picks, the biggest two were nearly identical 24"er's with big bellies. The second and last one was bleeding pretty good, so I kept him.Sooo....anyone know what to do with a fat slimy pincushion of a fish? Thinking skinning and poaching whole, maybe the bones will pull out, and maybe add to a chowder?
