I never got into ice fishing, but now that I'm retired I might give it a try. I trout fish alot (35-50 times a season), on the west branch of the delaware, near Deposit, so smoking trout is probably gonna be my big thing, although I get a couple of deer a year too, so I'm sure that will play a roll. For now I've got alot to learn. how much smoke, heat, rubs, brines vs marinaides, on and on.
You're not far from skaneateles lake , right ? that must have some ice fishing opportunities. I could go to whitney point or Norwich lake. I imagine I could go to cannonsville, or the papacton, but there's nothing right near me.
I've been trying to buy a Cajun Injector electric smoker (same as mastercraft) but it's either out of stock or overpriced. I've seen a $100 difference on a $200 smoker. This web site advertised one for $199 w/ free shipping, then told me it wasn't supposed to be on anymore, another tried to charge me an extra 85 to ship it. So I'll keep trying but I might end up with something else. I think electric sounds better, but you probably know better. I just wanna keep it simple. If it's easy I'll use it more often.
