You've all heard about the dog that liked to chase cars until one day he finally caught one. He stood there and thought "Now what do I do with it". ;D The same holds true for those of us who believe in Catch & Release, but still like a nice fish fry once in a while. Now that you've caught that fish, what do you do with it? I've found a web site that has excellent recipes for the type of fish you catch. Go to: www.fishsniffer.com/recipes/index.html and give it a try. I've tried some of the recipes and they ARE DELICIOUS! Do you have a favorite recipe you would like to share? Post it here and we'll give 'er a try.

;D Hey MB, where do you get the empty liguor bottle from . Do you use a screw on top or a cork? Also where do you store it, in the frig. or in the basement? I think I might need sunglasses the day after eating this pie . Hey Birdbanger, any GOOD friend will help you empty a bottle. For medicinal purposes of course. ;D I use the screw on type and keep them in the refrig till ........um, needed The sunglasses are a good idea. I usually have to use bottlecaps with a rubber band around my head to keep my eyeballs in afterward.

I normally like to give credit for a recipe, but I can't remember where I got this one. With everyone gone ice fishing, I thought I'd post this little skin bracer for a little warmer upper. Don't overdo it on the ice though & don't drink and drive. Adirondack Apple Pie The old Mountain Men, trapping beaver in the high country, loved the same things they used to have at home, but often couldn't have them because of logistical problems. One of those problems was overcome when it was discovered how to keep apple pie in a bottle. Best of all, it won't spoil... Here's my recipe for apple pie, mountain man style: Adirondack Apple Pie · 1 can frozen apple juice, 1/2 gallon size · Apple pie seasoning, to taste. · 1 bottle of Everclear (fifth) or Vodka · 1 empty liquor bottle (fifth) Mix the apple juice in a 2 quart saucepan, using approximately 1/2 the normal amount of water. Ideally, make it so it is a little more than 1/5 gallon. Add your favorite apple pie seasoning until it tastes right. Heat the apple juice to boiling, reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until the remaining volume of seasoned apple juice will just fit into the empty liquor bottle (OK to guess.) Let it cool until you can hold your hand on the side of the pan. Now add the fifth of Everclear. Stir thoroughly, then immediately pour the mixture into the two empty fifths you now have. Seal the bottles. Wait a minimum of three weeks before opening.

This catagory is open. I had to close the other thread due to some nut mis-identifying his fish. Feel free to put your pics here.

Well sage as you may already know a Tiger musky is a crossbreed between a Northern pike and a musky. So basically any lakes with both species will like have a few tiger muskys lurking around and in the weed beds. Oh and one more thing Cross breeds are sterile and cant take over the lake. Hope that sums up some of your questions. Well you're partially right ol buddy. A tiger is a hybred created in the hatcheries. While they are concidered sterile, they will breed with only a 3 percent survival rate & not concidered a threat to the body of water they are introduced into. While a northern pike is green with white spots, the tiger is green with brownish or white stripes somewhat like a bengal tiger, hence the name. They share identical habitats and feeding habits. The tiger is a voratious feeder and will grow approx. 6 inches per year. Their life span is estimated between 7 to 10 years. Here in NY, the Dept of Conservation introduces them to rivers, streams and lakes with an abundance of non-game fish & minnows to clean it out and make the game fishing more productive for other species. They are terrific fighters and will make some very aerobatic jumps when caught in shallow water. I fish for them trolling large Rapella Husky Jerks in the blue/silver pattern in approx. 12 ft. of water. They prefer the edge of weed beds and will hold close to structure. Check out my web site for some close up pics. Hope this helps you out a bit.

Sorry about the mix-up folks. I was informed by the folks on another site, gently thankfully, that my 36 3/4 incher is a King Salmon, not a steelhead as I thought. This was my first of either species & I goofed on identification. Sorry, it won't happen again. No, I'm sorry I didn't get a pic of the lampry as it was wiggling around on the boat floor. It was a big one though, bigger around than my thumb with a mouth almost the size of a half-dollar. At least I knew what THAT was.

I couldn't wait to show off this beauty I caught yesterday 4/16/05 on Lake Ontario out of Oswego. It was my first steelhead & I'm afraid it's gonna be a tough one to beat for me in the future. I caught 2 that day, but the second one was only 20 inches. This one was 36 3/4 inches. Both were released to catch another day. By the way, the big one had an 8 inch lampry eel attached to it when I brought it onboard the boat & it fell off after I got the fish out of the net. The eel did not live to suck the life out of anymore steelies. ;D
