Fish Hunter

Give this one a try Brian, just substitute the salmon & shrimp for pike: Adirondack Salmon and Shrimp Patties From My Adirondack Way of Cooking by Musky Bob 2 6†Salmon fillets (diced) 1 ½ Cup of cooked & peeled shrimp (diced) 1 Diced stalk of celery 3/4 Cup of diced white onion 2 small eggs ½ Cup of real mayonaise 2 Tsp. of Old Bay Seasoning 1 Tsp. garlic powder ¼ Tsp. chili powder season with salt & pepper as you like it Italian Bread crumbs Corn meal Peanut Oil Paper Towel Wax Paper Aluminum Foil Frying Pan Large Bowl & Shallow Bowl Preheat oven to 350 degrees In a LARGE bowl combine the first 9 ingrediants + 1 cup of bread crumbs and salt & pepper as you like it. Mix well with your hand. Add more bread crumbs if it feels too mushy to make patties. Scoop out and make 8 palm size patties & put them on the wax paper. Pour out enough peanut oil in the frying pan so it’s ¼ inch deep & turn heat on med. high In a Shallow bowl make a 50/50 mixture of bread crumbs & corn meal. Dip patties one by one in mixture & cover top, bottom, & sides & place in hot oil. I do 4 at a time. Fry till golden brown on top & bottom, remove, place on paper towel, & do the other 4. Open oven and put a cookie sheet size of aluminum foil on the rack. Place patties on the foil and bake for 20 minutes. I serve with Ken’s Cocktail Sauce, whole kernel corn, & potato puffs. Enjoy!!! A nice variation to this is instead of patties, to make balls out of it. Make up mixture & place in refrigerator for an hour. This makes it easier to roll into balls. Roll up into 1 inch size balls, place on wax paper on a cookie sheet after doing the coating. Place in freezer overnight, then bag up till you want them. Use a deep fryer when ready for them & fry till golden brown. They make excellent snacks for on the boat, if they make it that far. I usually make these & serve with a toothpick & horseradish cocktail sauce. Very good either hot or cold. I'm gonna give this a whirl with the next catch!! Sounds mighty good!!

I've been using this recipie with the browns we've been catching. My daughter, who is really "picky" loves it, and the rest of us do, too. We top the cakes, or "fish-burgers" with home-made tartar sauce. Yum!! Next round of these, I may try some bacon-bits in it.

Only have 1 problem with my 17 year old son................he's a rod hog!!!!! And that's OK with me.....

LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 8 Total Boated:7 Species Breakdown: All Browns Hot Lure: Spoon Trolling Speed: 2.0-2.2 Down Speed: same Boat Depth: 8-25 fow Lure Depth: My son and I took the little boat(17.5 ft Tracker Deep-V, we use on Oneida) out of Mexico Pt, headed west out into 15 fow, set the boards, and couldn't quite get the riggers down, and banged a 10 lb'er, on a Firetiger Smithwick. Steadily picked fish with that, and Blue/white Rapala, but had 3 come on a custom spoon(s). There were 10-12 boats working the same area, and saw nets, and folks hooked-up all over. Had a blast with my son on board(we've fished togather since he was 6) Planning on the same for next weekend. ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ====================

Hey franchi, I've got a rubber net, like yours, broke in the same spot!!!! Took some tubing, slit it, slid it over, and band-clamped it togather. Has hung in there for years now.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope like hell the lake is semi-tame this weekend!!!!! Good going Dave!! Scott

Hope you guys leave some, for us weekend warriors!!

Speaking of videos, looks like ol' Dave has his own channel on YouTube.

10-4. Scott

Vic, I'll grab those from you. Scott

FWIW, friends of ours in Wolcott, have said they are wailing the browns in/around Sodus. 6 rods fired, on Saturday, and boated all of them.

Dave, Good info!! Thanks!!

We have a Bushmaster/AR-15 platform, set up for the coyotes. 3-9 Nikon, raised cheekpiece, and a Harris bi-pod. Works well, but have a Savage chambered in .17 HMR, with a 3-9 Burris, and a Savage .22 Magnum/3-9 Bushnell too. The Savage .17 is a screamin' tack-driver, as already mentioned, and is the most accurate of the 3, but have killed 'em dead with all 3. If I was to keep only 1, then the Bushmaster would be it.

We were climbing out of the boat by 12:30 pm. 2 degree temp change, and they were there. Smithwicks/ Rapalas/ Jr. Thundersticks, off the boards, and custom spoons off the ball. Just gonna' get better from now on. Scott

Went 10/14 on Sunday morning, farther down the lake. 1 Brown was 9 lbs, and caught a 13 lb King, and was momentarily hooked up on another that was quite a bit larger. Spoons were firing good. Scott

I am curious as well.

Thanks for your insight!!

Thanks for all the thoughts on this. It may turn into a copper set-up. If I do head in that direction, what rod/reel?? Once again, thanks for the input!

Dave, Looks like your selling out. How are you gonna grab those mud Marlin??

How about small dipseys, or Offshore tadpoles with lead?

That would make someone a good Walleye boat on Oneida as well.

Maybe this has been discussed, but I want to put out boards to cover more ground, and was wondering how to get down, say 80-100 ft, or more?? Lead, with jet divers? What reel size?? Open for all input on this. Thanks in advance gents! Scott

Have one as a back up in both boats. We too listen in, back at the campground.

I'm surprised that this vessel is still for sale. I know if I had the dough, it would'nt be. Scott

Folks we know ended up in the water coming off the ice yesterday. Waist deep, out in front of the amusement park in Sylvan Beach. Pride was the only injury.
