Report from Lake Crisco

Since I have sworn off posting lake reports, I decided to post my second favorite fishing activity....cooking and eating them!!! :Rofl
I have been experimenting with different batters and recipies and I have finally come up with one that will seriously make you wanna "Slap Yo Momma!!!!"
Two parts corn meal, one part flour.
A healthy dose of McCormick Lemon & Pepper seasoning salt. Say, one tablespoon for every cup of flour/meal.
Coat fillets in mustard(yes mustard,) and let soak while oil is heating.
Heat 1/2" to 1" of oil in pan and cook until firm and flaky. You gotta try this recipe.

Looks good. Will try. That mustard makes them great. Oh yea, dont be a report hater. I would hate to drive 3 1/2 hours down there and not know where to go. Or why I am driving

Next time you drive down here shoot me a pm and I will help any way I can. Might even have an open seat for ya!

I thought that mustard was my secret ingredient. Does everyone use it? I also eat my fish wig mustard. My wife thinks I'm strange.

I know your one thats always there and your Lake X buddy. 3 years ago he put me on them and the next weekend I went down there and it was pitch black in the morning and boat trailers everywhere. Not knowing the crooked creek I idled back there and everybody knew everyone. Everybody had headlamps, I didnt know if we were frog giggin or fishin.

Those look great, Cmj, but do you actually taste the mustard on 'em after they're fried?

Dang it.....I knew I was forgetting something!!! No worries though, none of it went to waste.

Looks good...Just had some myself. There are few things that taste as good as crappie out of the wild. Elk, Walleye, venison back strap, Morrel mushrooms, frog legs , just some of my Favs also.

You for got to tell all the specks. How hot the oil was. How much flower to use. All funning man. You make me hunger

Looks great man. I've done the mustard before. Use to do on tilapia also. We would let it soak like you say. Didn't do the other stuff though. Just cornmeal. The flour would be a great addition and the lemon pepper. I love lemon pepper on the chicken also. You really don't taste the mustard...it adds a kick as he says and a tang thats hard to explain.

I guess cooking fish for dinner is the advantage to getting an early start . I fished till dark and ended up with a dozen but didn't keep a fish under 12 inches. It was a tough bite after you left and the wind that was suppose to be 10 was more like 20 mph, but there was only one other boat on that little part of lake X.
