Catch and Cook | Crappie and Catfish | Simple Recipe!

Bottom bouncing slab and jig rigs set up Sabiki style, managed four fish – a Shad, a Crappie, a Channel Catfish, and a Yellow Bass.

Kept the Crappie and Catfish and prepared them for the Catch and Cook by filleting them, seasoning with Garlic Salt, Season Salt, and Black Pepper.

After marinating for a couple hours, added a sprinkling of Seasoned Pepper, and then melted butter in oil.

Cooked the fillets for 5 to 10 minutes each side, and then served them with Fried Rice and Squash.

Tasty!

Catch and Cook Pan Fried Habanero Trout

Throw back Wednesday to celebrate “Hump Day” and get us through the midweek blues… how about a catch and cook of trout we caught last season?

Froze the trout in ice, and they stayed as fresh as the day we caught them last Winter. Used a Rubber Legged Near Deere to get them to strike!

For cooking, decided to try a new recipe – Pan Fried Habanero Trout!

Ingredients:

• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Chopped Habanero (with or without the seeds, proceed with caution)
• Stocker Sized Rainbow Trout fillets

Directions:

• Season fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
• Sprinkle chopped Habanero over fillets
• Let sit in the refrigerator for two hours or more
• Pan fry in oil on high heat for two minutes each side. Three minutes if crunchy fillets are desired

Ivory Soap Catfish Bait?

Wanting for a bait that was both easy to rig on a hook and economical, brewed a batch of Ivory Soap Catfish Bait!  Has a mix of this and that and for under $5.00 have enough to bait up 50 plus hooks!  The question now is will the Catfish like it?  Will have to try some field testing before we make a ruling on this recipe!

Yesterday's Catch for Dinner Tonight!

No fishing tonight.  But, cooked up yesterday's catch for dinner tonight.  Went with the Beer Batter Fish Fry recipe we liked (came from Kayak Angler Magazine) and, since we did not limit out, cooked up some Sausage as well!  Yum, yum, yum!
