12/27/2013 10:50AM Best option is clean them right away, but if it's warm enough out you can toss them in the snow or a slush puddle and clean them at the days end...they won't freeze. I actually prefer them cold but not frozen...they fillet so much cleaner and easier when they firm up a bit. |

12/26/2013 06:35PM Skiing only no fishing. A dress rehearsal for a later overnight expedition. Jon quote bobbernumber3: "quote Primitiveman: "Let em freeze. Build fire. Throw them in the fire. Fish the fish out of the fire. Pick off burnt exterior. Eat cooked parts. Repeat as necessary. I am going up Jan 1-5 but only daytripping off the Gunflint trail. |

If you are not aware....Walleye, Pike, and Smallies will be closed for the season as of 2/23/14. Lake Trout will be open through 3/31/14. |

12/23/2013 05:58PM Okay, heading up next Saturday for a 5-6 day trip. Planning on fishing, but I have never fished before in the winter in the BW. If we happen to catch anything-which is unlikely given our ineptitude when it comes to fishing-how do we clean the fish? They will be frozen solid after being tossed on the ice, and we are cold camping. I know I sound like a dolt, but I am not sure how to fillet a block of ice. Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks! |
