    Time is Everything

    Some of my "Best Times" were spent on Lake Erie with my Dad - 17 years.  Name of our boat was "Tangled Lines" and for a good reason.  When your tolling up to 9 rods off the back, some with wire line and you get off course a little either via just poor piloting (I always blamed that on my Dad ;-0...

    Well, your the first to reply and I couldn't wait so I did take them out of the brine, patted them down then stuck them back in the fridge until the next day, over night.  I then did my typical seasoning (hunks of Garlic sliced and inserted in the meat + pepper, sea salt and basil)., Stuck them...

    Time is Everything

    OK, here's a question.  Got me two nice Lake Erie Steelhead today (12/4/2014), brought them home, steaked them and now they are sitting in the brine.  I usually brine my Steelhead for at least 24 hours, then an hour of drying time, then a good 4-5 hours in the Smoker.  No problem, but "there's a...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    One more note on the Lake Erie "Burbot".  I did a little research and apparently our "Burbot" population here in Lake Erie is alive and well.  Most "Burbot" fishing is done after Thanksgiving as long as we don't get a freeze-over.  Good spot is up at Presque Isle (Lake Erie).  Hey, I may have...

    Interesting.  I've done my share of "Ice Fishing" around here, mostly the local reservoirs.  The problem is we would have 2 or 3 years of good ice then 2 or 3 years of bad or no ice.  I just recently gave away my ice shanty and gave up the ice fishing.....but when I did, I did very little "tip...

    Wow "Burbot"...I haven't heard that species mentioned in some time.  At one time Lake Erie (my fishing stomping grounds) had a fairly good supply of "Burbot", at least this is what I am told.  Actually a few years back there was rumor that someone actually caught a "Burbot" in the Lake, I never...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I agree as for eating them, that is what is left over after all my friends at the local "Smoke Shop" (cigar shop that is) and my card playing buddies, everybody wants some but they don't realize what goes into the fish....the trip (fishing - tracking - hiking), catching, cleaning, brine...

    New to smoking. First time smoking salmon and walleye.

    Well, a good brine soak, some good seasoning, placed them in the Smoker.  Started off at 175 degrees, one scoop of wood chips, then after about an hour took it up to 225, after 4 hours they came out great.  I guess I'll simply have to experiment with the smoker, temperature and time, but again...
