If it isn't to windy tomorrow I believe I'm going to give it a whirl. Waters just stained enough from the rain we had, and we finally got some rain here on the Susquehanna river.
I'm ready for some Walleye, I hope.

Pro tip, take a pair of scissors with you and clip their gills to allow them to bleed out. You'll be surprised at the difference in the taste. The meat will be firm and snow white.

Great trip and thank you . I keep my perch alive in my net hanging over edge of the yac I don't move very much and when I do it's slow. When done fishing I throw them in a plastic bag and I'm home in about 1/2 hour and they go straight to the fish board and almost are still alive and kicking at this point. Hearty little buggers. Heads off then fillet, clean cold soak then bagged and water covering the fish then into freezer. I like to keep them alive so if I only get a couple around 10-11as the biggest and I don't feel like taking care of this tonight I can let them go or give them to someone at the dock area. Lot of people really like that offer and I've met some guys who I continue to see and talk with . Did about 14"of wet snow today

I agree. Caught trout from a hatchery, did NOT like the taste.
The perch you got in restaurant probably wasn't as fresh as the ones you caught.
Your own fish, wild and right out of the water are the best!!
Look delicious!

Hey lay off of Andy B .He was showing you how he cooked his fish and you want to talk about the man stove and wall, great job B that is the sign of a good cook

I wish to thank you for your support of me on this matter. I've been reflecting on this for quite some time and I would like to take a ( few) lines to comment. First thanks to all who commented and shared their thoughts with me, even the fine gentleman who gave his opinion of my stove and wall. ........ As some of you know I support Mental Health and am a certified MH Instructor as well as a Peer to Peer instructor dealing with MH issues. I facilitate an ongoing P2P group that has stayed connected after it's class was completed. I also volunteer once a week in a group that helps ex-offenders teaching life skills. This with my own Center that is a (non- profit) non- profit, which receives no outside funding whatsoever. My Center houses hard to place incarnated individuals with housing and Life skills in all matters of life. I also am teaching an art course 2 times a week at MHA in Erie Pa. Through the wonderfully organization NAMI in Erie Pa. My story is titled "The Stove" ..... The stove was already here when I started living here my brother had owned the property and it was under The Awake Living Center he taught The Course Of Miracles. Shortly after my arrival he disbanded this course and sold the building and this is when I took over the Center and started my program. The stove is perhaps 20 years old? It's a shared stove by anyone who lives here and has been for many years. This stove is sometimes slow to light and has marks and stains that cannot be removed. Why is this Stove so important???? . As someone comes to this Center they may have been incarcerated for over 25 years and have limited knowledge of everyday life skills ,some suffer from major MH issues . My oldest recent resident was a Veteran from WW2 Who was with the 101st Airborne and attempted to use this stove to cook canned ravioli and soups. This while navigating the shared kitchen area while using a walker,him cleaning up was not a realistic option. Over the past 5 years many have used this stove to make whatever they could. Yes this stove is not Martha Stewart clean however it does serve to allow me to prepare a full T-Day meal, X-Mass meal and New Year meal for all here as well as guys who are less fortunate in Erie that we invite to spend those special day's with us. The rest of the year it provides cooking use on a daily basis for up to 8 guy's of various skillets and Mental Health issues. There are no women, wives, or significant others here to perhaps chastise their husbands or children for messing up ( her ) kitchen stove or any other part of this community shared Center. Everyone here is at different levels of learning and I would rather celebrate the successful completion of a well cooked pan of chilli or spaghetti by someone achieving it for the first time than reprimand them for splatters on the stove or wall. So I do value anyone's opinion but I do not of course have to change my ways based on what someone may find offense to them . I cherish this community FS and will support anyone on it with respect as well as share any knowledge I can freely. Everyone is important. Sorry this is so long but I just wanted to let everyone know how important the MH issues of people are to me. Then it's back to "Ripping Lips" Thanks for listening you-all. 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲

Well personally I thought the comments were rude as could be. You are a great fisherman and better human being. Keep up the good work!! It’s unfortunate you had to explain anything while sharing.

The way I was raised I actually have something much more abrasive to say but I’ve learned to reread and edit my comments when they sound like something my “Angel Uncles” have said.

You are right, never had perch but I bleed all the fish I eat, way better
