Went out with 2 friends this afternoon. Caught 7 eyes. Two shorts and largest 28 1/2". Some on jigging spoons and some on tipups.

Got to take a father and son out in the ice yesterday. Neither had ice fished before. Managed some good perch and a couple pike in 3 1/2 hours of fishing. Typical mistakes were made setting tipups wrong but still dad entered a 28" northern and son a 12" perch for the Alex Bay derby. 4 year old won a nerf football and a medium pizza. Lots was learned and fun for us all. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Perhaps if you ate them the day they were caught they would be better. By day two the dogfish turned mushy. I made some poor mans lobster out of pike and out of the dogfish. Although it wasn't terrible the pike was better. Likely will release them as always from now on. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

My search found they are not very good from warm water and their skin acts as a kidney so it's important to clean them immediately or they can have an ammonia taste. Since this is my first try I'll let you know my results. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Wow, what great news. Must have been a devastating discovery and a long wait. Sorta like shooting a deer and not finding it till the next day. Gives us all hope for our messed up world. There are still plenty of good people out there! Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

I have always released dogfish as I never knew anyone that ate them. Decided to fillet this one after reading that you can eat them. Lots of blood line to remove and meat looked somewhat like monkfish. I tried a small piece and it tasted fine and I'm a fish snob as I have a freezer full of walleye and perch. Not flaky, rather dense, but flavor seemed fine. Seems as though it could be used in a chowder or recipe where you want a firm fish. Perhaps could use it as poor mans lobster or rolled in bacon like a scallop. I'll have to experiment. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Plenty of ice on Bays in the Thousand Island region. 10-12". Some trucks on the ice at LOTI and Goose Bay. Had a decent morning fishing. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Late season duck hunts before ice up. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Hunted a pond that was loaded up this morning. Put up birds in the dark and picked them off as they returned. Huge number of birds and we were done by 8:30. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

prof T and I got into some with a good buddy this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

In the early season with 15 bird limits we stack up a pile of geese ( several days with 60 birds or more) which takes a great deal of time to process. If we took 45 minutes a bird it would be ridiculous) We do the best we can but latter season I'm more meticulous. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Just canned 7 quarts of goose. It took the breasts meat of 9 geese and leg meat of 7 geese for the seven quarts. Pretty simple process with a pressure canner, doesn't take up freezer space, and tastes great. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Yep. My daughter is a doctor and watches carefully over me. Pork adds some fat and flavor same as with ground venison. She's all for wild game and fish. In fact I supply her family and my son's with lots of fish and game. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

I use to grind the gizzard and heart in with meat making sausage and save the livers but my daughter doesn't think I should eat much organ meat. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I make breakfast and Italian sausage myself and I have many great ways to use their meat. I generally will use leg meat as well. Biggest Issue is the havoc that steel shot can play on your teeth. I have 3 crowns to attest to that damage and you need to be careful as steel is unforgiving. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Another good hunt with great friends. We were able to bag a fast limit and get out of the field before big flocks arrived. Should be good for another hunt. Birds cupped up and came right to the landing zone. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Had a chance to spend the morning in layout blinds with my son. Birds didn't work very well but we still had a great time. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app
