Ice Fishing
Hello Steemians !
When the school of perch come by and are hitting, you haul them out as fast as possible,
we caught these in literally one minute, then waited a few hours till they came by again.
The wood stove keeps the hut warm, and the light from the open holes lets
in an amazing amount of light. You can watch the fish take the bait, the water
is crystal clear, and only 3' deep.
The Budweiser you have to bring yourself, they don't supply that.....
Apologies to my vegan friends...
I have only been ice fishing in an ice hut once. That and perch bring back memories of my dad because he would fillet the perch and then cut out the single tiny row of bones down the center of the fillet making it look like a little pair of pants!
It is fun, and a tasty treat!! Heading up to the cabin with my Nephew next week
for some pickerel, they a bit bigger and I think tastier....
I haven't had enough pickerel to judge taste but everything tastes good when it comes out of clean water. I know they're bonier. Instead of calling them pickerel, aren't we supposed to call them walleye now?
Yes, your right, they really are walleye, but most people I know still call them pickerel, don't know why, maybe change is difficult for most people.
No bones, if you fillet them proper, they are larger then perch, so easier to fillet. Pike are the tricky ones to fillet.
Walleye, (pickerel) have a lot of flesh on their cheek, it melts in your mouth, best part of the fish.
I remember when they changed the name and all I can remember is it was over a decade ago. We had called them pickerel forever. So the important part, have them for breakfast. Dip them in dry Aunt Jemima pancake batter and fry them in bacon fat!
Pickerel vs Walleye
Now your making me hungry......
Ok, I'll try that, sounds good.
In Cornwall (Ontario) restaurants, you can sometimes get perch and pickerel rolls. Those are fried fillets in a hotdog bun with tartar sauce on them. Where the St. Lawrence widens, it's called Lake St. Francis and it's a great pickerel area. Ya, ya, walleye. LOL
haha....true tho, a lot of restaurants still say pickerel on the menu....
The river I am on is full of them, and the odd pike, in 12 years I have only
seen 4 boats on the river.

@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.
