I got a few so far, but not too many. They are a bi-catch for me. I don't fish for them.Attachment 324859Attachment 324860Quote:

Both hard water(ice fishing) and normal pond/river ventures were many times rewarded with our, at the time, personal best of species! I know that you are stone-kick distance from Delaware to prime Delaware "shoreline fishing"(spillways etc.) I would love to see an energized Delaware forum, I know there are a bunch of good fishermen that would be willing to continue the water flow with a "primed pump"! As you know, we "seasoned" anglers dwell on "the good ol' days"...this is where the newbies, lurkers, somewhat shy anglers take the baton that in a few years will turn into their "good ol' days! The adage What goes around comes around. Firm believer in positive karma. MD. sweet corn, tomaters, cantaloupes all need the fields to be planted/worked to realize the positive results.
Your now Southerly bud,

I hear you Doug. That is strange no Delaware reports. All that good fishing in that little state. I fish it now and then, caught flounder from shore in Lewis. Caught a flounder and loads of croaker on the Cape Henlopen Fishing Pier. Haven't been there in awhile. The mill ponds should be really good this time of year if no ice.
Wow, very nice, Muskie (not Norther Pike), correct?Quote:

Pike family fish can be bone-fileted after making specific longitudinal v-strip flesh extractions to remove their hair-like y-shaped bones. A few years back(4?) AndyS prompted me to bake them on a rumor he heard that would soften them, similar to salmon's still visible but soft edible bones = NOT!!nonono:banghead
Anyway, the chain pickerel gill-plate(cover) from eye has a very unique marking in the shape of a crucifix. Andy, me and many Delmarva anglers have caught them in the rivers and impoundments up there. My most memorable was fishing as an early teenager with family, friends on a central, Md. Eastern shore pond called Unicorn. Also lower(south) Md. Eastern shore ponds/rivers near Salisbury and Pocomoke River. Oh yes, the good ol' days, right AndyS?!!:ThumbsUp:HandsClapping:fish
You are right about the good old days, but not right about the pickerel I told everyone how to cook. You just didn't do it right. When you can take pickerel fillets to the American Legion on Kent Island and every one likes it, and says no bones. That should tell you something. LOL! All the places you mention, I live here. Give it another try. OK enough of this. It's getting light out, it's 6:16 AM. I'm going fishing. USA FLAG
Alrighty then Andy = How about telling all of us how...inquiring minds & mindless need to know details!:scratchhead:help...incidentally, I only followed these AndyS instructions = Doug,just bake them for a few hours(not very detailed). So, give me/us the appropriate American Legion(Kent Island) "love it" technique:pray:popcorn
Doug
OH Man! I really don't feel like, but I will try again. Filet the pickerel, Lay it skin down, make cuts down to the skin on the whole filet about 1/2" apart. You will feel your knife cutting threw the fine hair bones. Put in very hot oil skin down. The hot oil will go all through the cuts and them hair bones will cook right in the meat. Does this make any sense to you. Probably not. Only way to find out is try it.Attachment 326356 If that don't work, go catch a beach flounder. LOL! Are you living in FL.?
Wow Andy- For a second I thought(after seeing those flatties) you thought THEY were pickerel(although they have formidable dental work):Rofl I thought you said years ago to BAKE them,my bad, try fryin' 'em next time after 1/2" spaced deep slices. Oh yes, Permanent FL. resident upcoast 3 hr. from your Flounder beach. If that doesn't suit me, I'll have to make a trip up to American LegionWhite Flag Icon Couple pics from yesterday(9 1/2" bg & 13 1/2", 13" cr)
