got one of thoes electric fillet knives at wally world on sale last spring.....so nice, all you have to do is make the motion, no pressure needed.... I can fillet 45 fish in 20min... well worth it, rappala
Totally with you on that nothing like a electric. I filleted about 40 crappie afew ago and didnt have my electric and boy it sucked
My favorite would be, the ones that where biting that day ! Warbonnett
I like all three...but I don't like the yellow grubs....I know the grubs can't hurt you after the fish is cooked but I ain't into it...the grubs get into whites and pickerelli too when they are in the water...Is it true that in general you'll find less grubs in fish caught through the ice? I mean they must be around it they are around..winter or summer right?.....but it seems to me I don't hardly ever find them in fish I catch in the winter..... and maybe it is just because i fish in different water during the winter than the summer...
Just wondering do they taste the same? Back in the 60s & 70s my Dad, Brother, & I used to take what seemed like a long boat ride from camp on Gardiners Lake to Second Lake to find White Perch. We used to catch them by the bucket full. One day we caught 80+. It was a real big occasion for us. All the family, aunts, uncles, grandparents, would come over for a feed. Roll 'em in butter then corn meal & fry them up. I've heard that Crappie are close to the same.
Interesting fact...did you know a white perch isn't really a perch? its part of the bass family.
Nothing beats a good white perch feed, hands down over crappie imo. I find crappie too soft and mealy comparatively.
But isnt a bass a member of the sunfish family?Quick question...I usually roll my crappie in butter then crushed Ritz crackers, but the crumbs dont stick very well How can I make the crumbs stick better?
haha Im just going off Wikipedia..Cant answer that.

White perch for me, in the winter they are down right sweet tasting. Some one talked about dark meat in the white perch and in the waters that I get them out of, they are white all the way throw... Different Diet?
