Had a craving.
« on: Feb 27, 2021, 11:08 AM »
Got out early yesterday to put a few in the bucket. Had a heck of a time getting past the palm sized callies to get to the eaters!
Only kept the four, enough for me and the miss’s

Solid crappie.  I don't ice fish for them much, but I can see why they are addictive.  It seems that they are just starting to show in one of the lakes I fish.  Can't say that I'm dissapointed  ;D

Nice job! One pond I fish has some really nice 12 - 15s. Sometimes I can’t find those. I have no clue where they go... It’s like there is nothing in there but 4 - 8s! Weird! It’s not a big pond....
Today, I’m following my craving!


Gonna try Poor Man’s Shrimp Scampi tonight! Looking at getting a little crab meat for baked stuffed next!!!

It shouldn’t take long to have a decent population of them.

The 4 you kept are good eaters and the ones you let go will get bigger . Nice!

Clamfarmer, will you share what you did to prepare the fish on the right?  It looks good!  I am always looking for other options than throwing them in the fryer.

I’ll pm you and  brodeub later today. Look at scampi recipes. Gonna try that next. The baddest thing is NOT over cooking. Just  be aware, yellow perch have a firmer texture than any other freshwater fish, so the recipes won’t work for other fish as the others will fall apart. I’ve tried using white perch, crappie, bass and whitefish. I’ll get back with ya on a PM.
