Took the kids fishing this morning-they had a blast and caught a couple hammer handles-little northern pike-Ty just breaded them in flour and lemon pepper and then fried them in butter-pretty good stuff. The best part is he fillets his own fish lol. One of those little buggers had a perch inside it over half as long as it was-quite the predators-no wonder those 20 pounders scare the spear fisherman.

Do you fish at Meadow Lake? My brother-in-law grew up on the Army base at Cold Lake..and goes from there to Meadow lake every year to fish. I love fish but fav. is ice fished white fish,gregs not much of a fisherman and around here because of the power plant they're called Battle river slough skarks{Jack}

We were fishing on the Beaver River this morning but we sometimes fish the Meadow River running into the lake. Jacks are pretty good if you eat them fresh-were lucky there's good fishing everywhere up here. I don't mind whitefish soup-fresh pickeral still pretty tough to beat. My kids are crazy about fishing I don't take them near enough that's for sure.

Nope, no joke! It's been a few years since we've been fishing where there are pickeral but the guy who took us showed us how to do it and it was so good that I don't think it would take long to remember how to do it.

If I remember correctly, you cut around the circle of the cheek right in front of the gill, using the point of the knife. There is a surprising amount of meat there. When you get that "coin" of meat cut out, you have to slip the knife between the slab of meat and the skin, just like filleting it.

You end up with a round piece of meat about the size of quarter or loonie or a half dollar, depending on the size of the fish. Fry them up in butter and you will not be able to get enough.

HAs anybody else done this?
