Had a good week. One Musky, a couple of BIG snakes (northern pike), a few hard fighting smallies and enough walleyes to have a walleye broil for my daughter's 46th birthday. And, ahh, a sunburned neck.<br /><br />Lake Of The Woods is still the Best Danged Fishin' Hole (BDFH) on the planet.<br /><br />Got pics of one of the snakes with my guide. Will post them later. :) :)

Re: JB is back.

WB.<br /><br />When I used to fish on the BASS circuit the was a saying if you caught a snake. "Your fishing to fast" of course instead of following that warning it was almost a religious requirement to catch one just to upset my fishing partner.<br /><br />Sounds like a great trip. Family, Fishing and a safe return.<br /><br />Bob :cool:

Well, I did get one decent photo. <br /><br />This is guide Allen Edman with a decent "snake".<br /><br />Allen and his brother, Scott, grew up on LOTW and operate Angling Adventures Guiding Service out of Angle Inlet.<br /><br />www.walleyewalleye.com<br /><br />

Hey there JB,<br /><br />sounds like ya had a good time....thats the whole point anyway....glad to hear it.<br /><br />Don't think of me as an idiot or anything, but did you eat any of the fish you caught? I don't know much about northern fishing and alot of pepole catch and release all of their fish.<br /><br />Did you keep and eat any of them? Just curious.<br /><br />Derwood.

Hi, Derwood.<br /><br />I ate walleye about 4 times while I was there and brought a legal limit (6) back with me.<br /><br />The only fish I kill are walleye, crappies, bluegill and channel cat. Those I eat.<br /><br />Everything else gets released. :)

Re: JB is back.

Nice fishing, JB! I was wondering what <br />the best way was to prepare channel cats<br /> for cooking. I've mostly fished for trout and<br />kokanee salmon, but have recently gotten<br />into checking out the warm water lakes in NM. <br />My in-laws really like channel cats, but not sure how to cook. Thanks, MB

Howdy, Mountainboy.<br /><br />Filet the catfish.<br /><br />To 1 cup of coarse yellow cornmeal add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.<br /><br />Wash the filets then toss them in a 1 gal ziplock bag with the cornmeal.<br /><br />You can then fry them. I use a George Forman grill.<br /><br />YUM! :)

Re: JB is back.

Welcome Back JB,<br /><br />You can also do the corn meal thing and Deep Fry them Southern Style. When the filets start to float and are golden brown they are ready :D Also Deep Fry some TATERS (I like the stake cut style)and hushpuppies. ummmm :eek: Have some cold slaw,and chuncks of onion if you like, and a big-ol glass of Ice tea. <br /><br /> :D A Good-ol Southern Catfish Fry :D <br /><br />A deepfrying secret: Half of a hole onion in the frying oil will help keep the oil from burning. Not catching on fire but geting a bad burned taste. :D
