Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Ice, ice Baby !

Doug & a buddy, hit the Hardwater, on Saturday;

Nice!

Can't go wrong with fresh walleye!

Great! How thick is the ice Paul?

Looks yummy!

Growing up, we always had perch and pickerel (everyone used to call it that) on Christmas Eve as an appetizer. We took sleeves of salted crackers and beat them up with a roller, added garlic powder, salt and a bit of pepper to make the coating. Simple and fast. The fillets were cut into cracker sized squares. Some were coated, others were left as is. All were deep fried. Probably politically incorrect to have deep fried anything these days, but they were great hot or cold.

Nice feed!!

6" at the Bear Narrows bridge, Richard.

They fished fairly shallow, @ 13', to stay out of the current.

Thank's Paul, I hope they wore PFD's.

So, so frikken good !

Would you please get rid of the Rice and get some proper French Fries on that plate lol

We don't have Walleye around here
Its one of the things I look forward too when I go back to Saskatchewan, the best I figure.
That sure looks good!

Nice looking plate!

Darren, We grew up on the east coast of Australia, ate so much deep fried fish & chips, that we look for other ways to enjoy this fantastic protein.

You'll see chips / french fries, a couple of times throughout the season, but definitely not our go to !

lol, I was only ribbing you mate!

Must have been cool growing up in Australia, were you born there?

Yep, moved the family, when Deb & I were 39 & kids were 9 & 11.

Miss the ocean & beaches big time, but not the rat race !

Very comfortable here, with our rural existence & all that has to offer.

Gotta tell you that I do my Walleye in a similar style as you!

I use Pastene Italian Bread Crumbs as the final coating after I lightly dredge the fillets in flour, then egg then the crumbs, then fry them off in EVOO.

What is your biggest to date, my biggest was 32" or for an Aussie 81.28cm. I know, I know picture or it didn't happen lol

Walleye fishing sucks in Alberta!

Never seen pin bones cut out of fish fillets like that before. Guess I learned something today

Them there Walleye Fillets are expertly filleted!

Caught literally 100's of 29-29.95" ers, never an honest 30" or bigger !

Doug & Joe (best bud) both had really solid 29.5" ers too !





I'm not the kind, to long arm them !

Beauties mate love the dark golden color! Typical of Lake Walleyes, notice the pale color of mine and how skinny it was? Because of its color and weight I thought is was a giant Sauger. That was caught in the North Saskatchewan River.

Full Disclosure, that is not me in the picture, that is one of my girlfriends. Russian chick from Siberia. One tight unit!
She was 54 in that picture, nicer body than most 18 year old's. lol
