I like how you prepared them.

Thanks !

We eat so much fresh walleye & crappie (year round), that we have lots of different preparations.

It's certainly 1 of our favourites !

Try to stay away from frying, unless the kids or visitors are eating "in" !

Nice fish, both on the ice and ready to eat.

Nice!

I just finished off a 5 day staycation to hit the ice every day. Our ice season is short and unpredictable down here, so I always take at least a couple days off for weekday fishing when we get ice to avoid the weekender crowd. Thursday-Sunday were flat out rough, but the bite was good yesterday.

Envious.

Looks delicious! I’ll be out this weekend fishing for lakers and panfish. Saturday looks like it’ll be -20ish. That ice will be talking

I think that a plate full of walleyes would be just the cure for my chronic borborygmi. It is an affliction and you all likely have it too.

Since we moved to TX this summer I am not missing the cold

Ok, Saturday, we rented a local outfitters (Temple Bay Lodge) shack, awesome experience & great day !

Unfortunately, it was really windy, so we were confined to fishing inside the warm shack.

New 2 99s
First I have been able to get to open /load in a while.

As always a good time whe you are involved.

I like to see that you don't just eat, you prepare a meal, dine and savor whatever is on the menu.

Those dishes look to be fitting to the fish.

Thank you !!

It's definitely part of our lifestyle.

Mediterranean Pike;



Great flavours.

Nice. Love pike. Jealous. What's the recipe for mediteranean Pike?

Ice has been too much slush, rain on it here to ice fish here. Might have to raid trip to Montana or ND

TIP UPS FOR PIKE? CAN YOU USE JAW JACKERS UP IN CANADA?

Back to walleye !

Had some fresh lake trout given to us Tuesday;

I'll have to get that off Deb, that one was her creation.

Leeks, garlic, grape tomatoes, artichoke hearts, red chili flakes, herbs & lemon juice.

Roasted vege in pan for 20 mins, add fish to top & cook for another 10-12.

Garnish & eat

$hit ton of capers & kalamata olives too !

Not sure what a jaw jacker is, but all I use is what's pictured above.

Went out on my own Saturday - Forgot phone, so no photos till home;



Sunday, remembered phone & bought Joe;

I'm vert with envy Paul!

Finally warmed up enough to spend the afternoons ice fishing, on the weekend.

Forgot the camera/phone on Saturday, but it was a repeat of Sunday !

A cold but sunny day in Idaho, only one 18" trout for my efforts.

Yesterday was my last day of the ice season down here, ice is going fast, and will be gone before the end of the week. It was down to less than 4" thick yesterday and the edges were soft. Today the edges were open water 6-8 feet out from the banks.

It was a mediocre season for me, overall. Lots of dinks, nothing I would call a big fish. All the ponds around here are small, and they got absolutely hammered last winter. I've been living here 16 years, and I saw more people out on the ice last year than every other year put together. The crowds were gone this year, but you could definitely tell a toll was taken.

Wow, still full auger flight thickness here !

Almost 30" of solid ice here on lake Cascade.

Fresh walleye;

I'm on the very southern edge of the ice belt, so our season is pretty short. We usually have around 4-6 weeks of good ice... sometimes more, and occasionally no ice at all. It was about 7 weeks this year.

Ginger soy walleye & sticky coconut rice;



Little thai sweet chili sauce.

New 2;
Top of the morning my friend, I'm going to dispense with my usual salutation as I'm going on faith anyone eating that well from fish they've caught just has to be finer than frog's hair!

Thanks so much for the thread and very wonderful photos. Please keep doing both the fishing and the food photos, the colors and composition in both are grand.

I don't always comment and frankly don't wander down here into the fishing section that often, but might have to now.

We or better said I had a slow season this year compared to last year and can't say why that might have been. I'll try the usual lake at least a couple more times if I can, but it's been pretty nice all week here and I've been catching up on yard stuff instead of ice fishing.

Thanks so much again sir and all the very best to you all.

Dwayne

PS
I still can't get over that perch....

Cheers Dwayne,

Looks like we should be a go, again this weekend !

You do get your monies worth out of a fishing license Paul. Looks like you guys know your way around the kitchen too.

Thanks Mate, hate sitting still, in the house !!

Red curry walleye;



Delicious !

Mmmm, panko crumbs !

That looks great!

To brutal for me, but Doug & 4 buddies decided to go after crappie on Saturday.

Oh, to be young again !

Ice fishing done for us now, I think !!

Still 24"+ of ice, but starting to get honeycombed & multiple slush layers.
