seasprite Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I got the bug bad this year I think I have had the fishing poles out more than the .308 and thats ok for now. Especially when I bring this home <thumbsup> We had a little bit of everything Walleye, Crappie, Catfish and White Bass. The Walleye was 22" and the crappie 11" to give you a size reference.

Armed Eye Doc Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 If I were catching fish kike that, I would keep at it as well. Just think of it as cutting down on the food you will have to buy. Then you can afford more ammo the next time you go shooting. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetncold Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 We have Weiss Lake down here. It is labeled "The Crappie Capital of the World". I know it's full of them. It wasn't unusual for my dad and I to haul back 200 or more a day. And that was just the keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmackc Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 No kind of fish tastes better to me than a mess of filleted crappie. The reason I live here is the fine quality of the crappie. A couple of us go out right aftre sun rise. We have about six to eight places where we have brush piles. Light tackle with homemade mono crappie 2 hook rigs and minnows or sometimes we jig for them. Crappie have tender lips. Fishing is good most days that you can stand on the water in the winter time.Spring and fall is more pleasant. We use electric fillette knives.two passes and each side is done.One deep cut along the ribs, flip thefillette over and take the skin and scales off. Chill the fillets gently bread them and into the King Cajun hot peanut oil. Catfish fillettes are good but Crappie is better. I found Crappie is a bit delicate for grilling,any suggestions?

shepp Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Wrap the fish in aluminum make a pouch and put it on the grill.Season accordingly. Yup with butter or olive oil so it don't stick love to cook walleye like that, normally season with salt and pepper with some garlic and onion or alil chipotle powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 That sounds easy, and delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 So Thursday I decided to go fishing......daamn fish were busting on top...gulls everywhere.... The end result was 9 bucks worth of catfish panko encrusted fried with corn hushpuppies <lmao> Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) That sounds easy, and delicious. I make more of a pan outta my foil basicly roll out a sheet of foil alil longer than my fillets and roll the edges a few times to keep any oil/butter/juices from dipping into the grill to make it flare up. And when I do walleye I do one pan for each fillet then I can do different seasoning on each Wash I catch walleyes like that all year round:) I LOVE hush puppies Edited July 4, 2015 by shepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Shepp are Walleyes tasty? never had one :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
