  1. The AccuSharp is an excellent and easy way to get the job done. I've been using one for years while butchering hogs and for every other knife I have in the house.
  2. Chartered out of St. Joe Wednesday. Caught 25. My 8 y/o niece caught the first, biggest, and most fish. I caught 2. Wife and captain caught the rest. Tasty dinner last night. Fish tacos tonight.
  3. It was, although with the weather it did get chilly during the last couple of hours. I did have a raincoat but I could have used an extra shirt to change out of.
  4. Had a great day at Berrien Springs Dam in spite of mid-50º temperatures, rain, and wind yesterday. It got so cold we turned the heater in the cabin on about an hour before we quit. In addition to the fish in the photo we also caught 5 drum, 12 bluegill, smallmouth bass, at least a half dozen more walleye that were too small, some rock and white bass. Overall, I had a good trip with Headhunter Sportfishing. The bluegill were mighty tasty at dinner last night as was the catfish for lunch today.
  5. Get the license. The State can use the money. Besides $7.00 is a bargain for a day's entertainment. Sometimes being cheap is not cost effective. I don't fish that often and I'm out of state but I spent the money for the year's license to provide funds for things I support. I'm generous with money towards my interests. I will squeeze every penny I can out of tax paying though.
  6. My preferred Osama memorial.
  7. I'm more than slightly rotund around the middle and have decided to purchase my own PFD. Chest size is several inches smaller than waist. I find most of them to be to tight and not fit my gut very well and uncomfortable to wear. Is there a PFD made that I could wear while fishing on a boat and while wading. Any suggestions of places to purchase one and look at them in the SW MI/NW IN area? Say Kalamazoo towards the Illinois border. Thanks,

    Here are some posts that I made you might find helpful. Smoker Help
  9. While my wife always has good intentions I've learned that the best present she can give me is "permission". I tell her some things I want and get a card or two giving permission to get it. That way I get exactly what I want instead of what she thinks I might like better.
  10. Merry Christmas to all. One of our family presents is a trip to Bull Shoals, Arkansas over spring break for a fishing trip.
  11. To help hold heat during the winter months a windbreak of some sort is necessary. This can range from a larger cardboard box, a 55 gallon drum, or a heavy blanket ( I have used a moving blanket with a couple of smokers in the past during the winter). Don't use an extension cord. If you have to use one make it as short as possible and heavy duty.
  12. I've been poking around and think I figured this out. I strongly suspect the "cheesy" addition is cream cheese. This makes sense because cream cheese and salmon does go well together. You might play around with a basic lemon dill sauce and add it to cream cheese.
  13. No I don't have one for the cheesy lemon dill sauce. I can't even think of a cheese that would work well in this application. I did a Google search and I wonder if the original author may have meant creamy vs. cheesy or maybe he cooked the cream a little to thicken and called it cheesy. I posted a note on the BBQ list I got that from. I haven't seen Dan post in years but a few of the old timers might know. If I hear anything I'll post it. Just to clarify on recipes I post. I've been on a few BBQ lists and forums for over 10 years and have quite a collection of stuff and articles that were written years ago. I trust all of the people who posted the techniques and recipes. Some I can make attribution to but most I can't. Most of the recipes are not and can not be served commercially because you can't create them with the dedicated technique a home cook will. In general, I'm a fan of keep it simple in most things. I cook on a WSM and smaller sized mobile smoker. I can feed 200 brisket and pork butts with no problem.
  14. The biggest problem I've had with Cafepress is they don't have sizes ffor us calorically challenged guys. I do like the options to buy different products with logos.
