i think i was with you that day.
well got a nice pic of a 25" eye from the pes. of the NST last night it looks like it had been at the thanksgiving day buffet ,
Very, very nice pile of perch! Thanks for the water temp report also. Do you vacuum seal those filets bound for the freezer? I got a vacuum sealer last year to try out and the 'eyes taste just about fresh caught after months in the freezer. Used to freeze in water but it takes up lots of room in the freezer. Again, very nice job on those hog perch.
Yeah ... sometimes I do vacuum seal them. I had a foodsaver that I bought when they first came out, and it finally bit the dust, so I got a new one and it pulls a better vacuum and seals the bag a whole lot better.I also do a trick that keeps 'em fresh for a long time. Put your filets in a ziplock bag. Cover them with water. Close the ziplock, but leave a 1/2 inch un-sealed. Turn the bag so that the un-sealed corner is pointing straight up. Now, squeeze out all the water and air, and seal the last 1/2 inch shut without letting any air back in. If you do it right, there will be a vacuum on the bag, and any spaces in between the filets are covered by the little bit of water that is left. No air = No freezer burn.It is a spin-off of a trick the old-timers do with their smelts and bullhead up in Tupper Lake. They stack their fish in a cut-off cardboard milk jug and fill it with water, freezing their fish in a block of ice. Works. Some guys even do it with their venison.
My report for the day....while working on the north shore today, I saw hundreds of geese and ducks, a nice breeze from the east, the same fisherman who have been camped at the same spot for the 2nd week in a row, a couple eagles hovering and fishing the very spot the fishermen were fishing. Worked in my tee shirt for a few hours, then the sky filled up with clouds, got windy and the rain started. The sky WAS blue, the water is wet and the grass is still green....for now!! Titelines!!--KP
What a lousy report, this is a fishing site not a site about working in shortsleeves. I'd expect one to post where you saw these men & eagles fishing. Geez no info as to where you were when you witnessed this, no gps coords, maybe your post is better suited for tshirts.com. Nice weather forecast starting tonite! Its looking like the best times are soon to be here!
sorry i have a little trouble with KP report cloudy and rain and blue sky all at the same time [/quotmaybe its that green grass that's got him all confused
