I took Mudcat again this morning. We culled out 2 limits of Catfish. It was bad windy and we got our arses wet. Still glad to see the rain. Jigged awhile and I kept a mess of Crappie. Mudcat took his home so here are my fish at the cleaning station.

Looks good. Hope you are saving some fish. I will be heading that way in a couple hours to try and catch some tomorrow. Don't think I will make it in time to fish this evening. I'm gonna try jigging for the first time. Do you have any pointers besides hit the goverment piles? Hope to see you out there.

I never could figure out whether it was better to skin them first and then filet or to just filet them. If you just filet them how do you get the belly meat?
We don't save it except on Flatheads and then we fillet the belly after taking the sides off. I use a real fillet knife and cut around ribs , never through them.Quote:

I used to smoke them frequently, and they were delicious! It really worked well with whole fiddlers. I soaked them in a marinade 1st. My wife has the recipe for it somewhere, but I do remember that it had liquid crab boil among other things. Thinking about it makes me want to catch some catfish and try it again.
Hey Blair,
I'd be grateful to you if you'd ask your wife if she still has that recipe. That sounds good, and like something I'd like to try! If she does, how about posting it on here for everybody. Many thanks!
I will be glad to. Bear with me. I sometimes forget to bring to do things, but I will get this done within a few days if not tonight.
Thanks. Look forward to it.
I told you I wasn't reliable, but I'm in the process of adding this on the cooking forum in case anyone else might be interested. I'm a slow typist, so it may be 20 minutes or so.Quote:
