    WOW…….ENTRY TO FISHING LOG!! A day of stability has crappies SNAPPING!! Again I’m a firm believer in keeping a meal of fish if customer like. Not a necessity to keep a limit of fish though. Today my customers didn’t want to keep any fish so I decided a nice meal of crappies sounded good. Remember 12-13 inch Crappies have big fillets. 5 crappies can feed our family of 3 perfectly.

    What a beautiful day on the lake!! My customers had a snowmobile issue, so we didn’t get fishing until around 1 pm. Caught about 25 crappies Missed the DONK of the day and needed to take a “TIMEOUT” Put the heat to a big Whitefish again!!

    Are those whitefish any good for eating? I’ve heard they are tasty for a fry?

    Whitefish are awesome tablefare!! The meat cooks up snow white and very flakey!!

    Whities are awesome table fare!! Smoked, baked, boiled, or fried, you can’t go wrong! Bony little suckers though- they have bones alot like the “y” bones of a northern. I normally scale them, then score the fillets down to the skin, every 1/4″, this helps the oil get into the fillet and soften the bones.

    We get 25-30 Whitefish a season while we are chasing crappies. They seem to be keyed in on the same mud bugs as Crappies and tullibee. Average size I would say would be around 5-6lbs. Heck of a battle on light equipment.
