Took the kids out last night and caught maybe 11 perch and blue gill, plus a few rock bass. Nice fillets. We prefer to steam them then serve over rice..... Got a favorite recipe for the fish?

When I steam these little fillets, just some butter, a splash of Old Bay seasoning, maybe some garlic herb spice....great eats!

The lakes seem to be a whole month behind where they usually are by now.... No big schooling of Bluegill or perch to date. Must be from our cold spring.....

I have had them out after trout a few times....been busy summer working a swing/late shift to avoid summer daycare expenses.... I am not home on friday nights like previous years.....

I even just noticed that the grouse Opener lands on a Monday! :'( This royally screws up grouse trip plans. No three day grouse trip for the kids... Crummy summer so far...need to get them out on the fish I guess!

although it tasted nasty...like sulfur (which is uncommon for the fish I have pulled outta here)..so its coon food.
