TOPIC: Fall, Spring, and Winter hunting/fishing

Beautiful fish there Wild. I bet that will be some good eating. Never had trout myself... but had a lot of bass, crappie, catfish, black perch, chain pickerel, and even some notty suckers... they have all been good to me. Hard to beat those crappie.

It has been quite warm here (middle TN) the past few days... but just a week or two ago we were getting lows around 15 degrees. Now I am getting the itch to go fishing.
It has rained so much here lately the river and creeks are all up and rolling. No good for fishing when they are like that.

Congratulations on getting out there and catching some supper !

Thanks TN, I put some blackened redfish magic seasoning on them, and fried them in a cast iron skillet with butter. Some really good eating. You're right about those crappie they are hard to beat as well. Hope your rivers clear up soon and you're able to get back into it!

nice catch 44.

For a really simple seasoning mix that works great for blackened fish, or chicken or pork... even veggies.

I make my own... equal parts salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

I have a big shaker that I just dump a table spoon of each in there and then stir it up... and shake it on... taste great.

If you want to kick it up a notch... add another equal part of cyan pepper in the mix.

Sounds good TN, thanks for the info! I really like the lemon pepper seasoning on trout as well.

I've been doing a little gold prospecting this past month. The water has been to high to really get in the river much, but I've been doing a good bit of bedrock crevicing along the banks and finding some nice pieces. It's a fun way to prospect without totally wearing yourself out, and the gold seems to be bigger down in the cracks and crevices, although not finding as many pieces as I do sluicing the river.

that is some good colors in your pan....
