Never have eaten a pickerel, but northern pike are EXCELLENT fried up over a campfire. Used to keep 'em for shore lunch when I fished up in Canada. Just have to fillet out the y-bones.
Thanks for the pics Bear. That's it at the bottom alright. Like I said, I've caught two at Juliette, and my brother caught one off the dock at Sinclair this past fall. Not big fish, but very pretty, and I've read that they are really good eating. Anybody have any idea what time of year they...
So, do any of you fish specifically for yellow perch? I've caught two at lake Juliette at different times. They're a pretty fish, and I read that they're pretty tasty. I'd like to get enough for a fish fry come spring. Any pointers or advice? Lures, jigs, colors, times of year, etc? Thanks.
