fishing question...

[Great-Kazoo]

The carp around here tastes really gritty IMO. I haven't had it anywhere else but I would imagine it could possibly be different. Some people like catfish as well. I can't stand those things. *shivers*

This is because you and everyone else prepares it wrong.

Catch carp, place in bucket with fresh water, change water 1-2x before gutting & cutting. Place in fridge if not using after rinsing. Either way prior to cooking say 30min before. place carp in pan/plate etc cover with milk. 30 min later drain milk, squeeze out all moisture then place on paper towels. Prep and cook as you desire.
I met some locals down the southern part of OK who were insane catfish folk. The dad converted his barn in to a cleaning pond for then. He ran fresh water through 2 filtered "ponds" 24 hrs before cutting & gutting. You'd be hard pressed to know they were cats after that.

Catfish soaked in some franks red hot deep fried and GTG.

This is Colorado. There's fly fishing for trout, then there's everything else.

True, but Colorado has some of the best smallmouth fishing on the planet.

Here's a pic of a short mornings worth.

Awesome catch, where did you guys go?

Lake Powell is probably the best fishing this side of the Mississippi, you probably catch something 8-9 times out of 10 there. Hat tricks all day long.....

Striper boils are insane, they fight like mad dogs and taste great too....no limit either!

There is Walleye in Colorado and Wyoming. Glendoe Reservoir in WY is famous for it.

Here are just a few in Colorado that are good Walleye fishing: Adobe Creek Reservoir, Bonny Reservoir, Carter Lake, Horsetooth Lake, Lathrop State Park and Standley Lake

Went to Pueblo yesterday, caught around 50 Walleye, but only able to keep 2, they have to be 18" or bigger to bag. We had so many in the 17.5 to 17 7/8 that we released hard letting those ones go.

Also caught 2 Spots, 1 Wiper, and 1 Crappie.....

50??!! Wow! I'm sure it was a really fun day!

Man, I must be doing something wrong. I am so happy to catch one damn fish of any species much less 50. I never had a problem bagging out on fish in western CO, but ever since I joined the military I have been skunked. I got out in 2009 and I bet that I have caught 10 fish total. I have been out 7 times this year since April and I have 1 rainbow to show for it. What are you guys using for Walleye? Also fried catfish is awesome if done right.

We camped at Hite. Fished White Canyon and Trachyte. Was in Farley for a couple hours. We had 3 guys in the boat for a day and a half. Just 2 of us for the rest of the trip. Bag limits have been lifted on the walleye as well. Limit for smallmouth is 20. Crappie is 10 and largemouth 5. We brought a limit home for all 3 guys on crappie and smallmouth. I think we caught about 20 to 25 walleye. Didn't keep a good count on them since there isn't a limit.
