Thanks,
There are actually two different species of crappie..the White Crappie and the Black Crappie. This one happens ot be the White Crappie. Thanks, they are the best tasting freshwater fish IMHO in Florida lakes. I buttermilk batter them up and they are 5 STAR.

You got it. We do the same, except we have Black crappie. I like getting them fresh off the ice and eating them up. Everything taste better from ice fishing. I don't know if it is because the temperature of the water, or psycological? :D

RE: Fishing Update In Your Area.
 

We have both down here.It's been my expereince tha tthe black crappie are a little bigger than the whites. I learned the recipe from a man from upstate New York. I can't beieve how drastically the texture and taste changes.

I tried it on bass and bluegills but it didn't have nearly the effect that it has on crappie.

How can you call yourself an American angler if you haven't caught a walleye in your entire life.

Chuck, how do you catch your carp? We have alot and they are pushing around 30 pounds. They would put up a heck of a fight.

Also, do you guys have Pike in FL? I noticed they weren't on your list and they are fighters! :D

OK The European Carp { Orange colored carp} was luckily caught on night crawlers in Maryland. I used ot make my own dough balls but forgot the recipe. In Florida we have Grass Carp..I only caught one and it was 10 pounds in a cast net.

No, we don't have Northern Pike in Florida. WE do have Chiain Pickerals. Floridians call them Jacks. They treat them like trash fish. Not me.;)
They are fine eatting if you can deal with the bones. I caught many pickerals off spinner baits { Rooster Tails} in Virginia . I've ever caught a pike. Before I die I'd love to catch a salmon, a pike, a musky and a waleye.;)

RE: Fishing Update In Your Area.
 

I'd love to take ya on some pike fishing adventures... I have yet to catch myself a muski yet. Gotta get up to Canada for those.
