Adirondack Fish Fry
From the Adirondack Series by Musky Bob
6 fish fillets (walleye are exceptionally good)
12 cans or bottles of beer
1 gal. zip-lok bag
1 tin pie plate
1 frying pan
1 cup of corn meal
1/4 cup of buttermilk pancake mix
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
juice from 1/8th lemon wedge
1 bottle of peanut oil
In pie plate, stir/wisk eggs, lemon juice, 3 oz. of beer (drink remainder of can/bottle).
In zip-lok, combine dry ingredients.
Have another beer.
Pour oil into fry pan & heat until the pan "sings" (when hot it will *ping* *ping*).
Dip fillets one at a time into pie plate mixture getting a good coating on each.
Drop into zip-lok mix, seal, & toss well until all are coated.
Remove & place in hot oil & cook until golden brown.
Serve with home fried potatoes, corn, & lemon wedge.
Drink remaining 10 cans/bottles of beer while company eats. Wipe off pie plate with paper towel & put it on your head. During dinner, tap rythmatically on the plate with wooden spoon while singing "Hey Mr. Tamborine Man",
Enjoy!
Just my opinion. There are folks who target them specifically, not just the occasional straggler, and they're lucky to catch one after many outings. But, it's a good question and I'd also like to hear if anyone's catching them not just around the west end of Lake O, but around Oswego as well. Let me ask around muskiecentral & I'll see what I can find out.
I'd like to see the same rules for each of the Pro Ams. Right now what you can do at one P/A, you can't do at the other and vice versa. It would avoid confusion if they were all the same. I'd also like to see the Captains Meeting location and weigh in stations listed on each Pro Am site. Thanks
TH, your English is fine and it sounds like your fishing skills would match many of us on Lake Ontario. Welcome to the site and please keep in touch on how the fishing is in your area. We ALL learn from each other.
Nice job Mark. Thank you for spearheading this. And Dave, Thank you also for listening to us. I'm sure the LOC will definitely benefit from this, and participants will be happy with your decision.
They can drink all they want. Be careful though, a drunk sometimes doesn't understand the meaning of safe. You have the option of only allowing a certain amount onboard.
Hey Jim, I've been getting ready for a garage sale this coming weekend to get rid of some of my STUFF. Hopefully I'll be able to get out a few more times before I think about winterizing the boat. That ought to be a fun thing, not. This is my first year with an I/O so I'm gonna have to go by the book. Hope to see you on the water before winter sets in. Hope you enjoy the chowder.

I made up the recipe myself and it's always good to hear what folks think of the stuff I make up. I'm working on a book of recipes titled The Adirondack Series of Recipes by Musky Bob.
PS: Don't give her my recipe. It's a secret.
I think the reason they only list charter boats is to kind of promote the charter boat business. I'm all for someone making a buck, but I don't think it's fair for me to promote their business with my entry fee monies. That's only my opinion. I'd like to see everyone's name listed. Like you say, it's a bragging rights thing. But the money's nice too.
Do you know if it's against Canadian law to have one aboard but not in use? That would be a pain if you take your rig in Canadian waters. How 'bout if you just monitor and not transmit? Hmmm, so many questions.
