Re: Fish fry mix ????

Tries something new last week. Took some Garlic Croutons and blended them to a powder and used that instead of flour or cornmeal. Fan fried in a lime infused olive oil. Pretty tasty.

Re: Fish fry mix ????

Grew up on cornmeal mixed with some flour. Was commenting to a friend who owns a very good seafood restaurant about how good his fried fish and shrimp were and asked him what % of cornmeal he used. He looked at me like I was from Mars and said, "I don't use any corn meal. Never have and neithe...

Re: VIDEO- BUDGET WAYS TO SAIL HOME AFTER LONG YAK TRIP

With a kite you can only go where the wind blows the kite. With something like an umbrella and a rudder you have a little more control of where you go. Academy sells an umbrella that 60" and it's rated for 50 MPH winds with a life time warranty. With my Hobie Quest and a nice wind I have gone ...

Re: VIDEO- BUDGET WAYS TO SAIL HOME AFTER LONG YAK TRIP

can you launch a kite like that from the seat of a kayak? That could be ideal for sailing. I've been saving my pennies and stocking away ideas for a sail system... I like that one! The para foils don't use any rods. Its just pockets of nylon fabric. So it's like putting several windsocks together. ...

I personally have seen very few rec paddlers out in my last couple trips to Lake Woodlands. I've braved the temps wearing waders but I know this isn't the norm. I think if we can hold off until March/April we can get more rec paddlers and Woodlands residents to take part instead of it being just th...

I know fishing journals are kind of custom to each fisherman. But if folks are looking to start one I can recommend use the Fishing Journal from Rite-in-the-Rain.

I live across Burnett Bay from the BNC.

Close to the power-line towers on the Burnet side has a trench that runs through I've caught bla...
