    Salmon

    in Fish & Game Recipes

    Posted

    Only question I got, and this is because my guests eating the lake salmon have noted and asked ..."Why is the salmon meat you grilled white?"

    Meaning they have had restraunt salmon that apparently looks like what I have seen..red/orange or pink. So I have this standard answer..."I don't know, maybe the suppliers use some color enhancing ingredients, like maybe in some beef."

    After all mine is fresh, unenhanced (if that is a word), and cooked in a couple different favorite ways. The other from the store/restraunt comes from maybe...Alaska, BC, Pacific Ocean it had 7000 miles on it, several loading docks, refrigeration, and wrapped fresh or frozen. It gets cooked in the restraunt and it is still a pinkish orange color after cooked. So what does it mean really? Anybody have a clue? So far my guests take my explanation and run with it...sounds good to them as well as the empty plates are attest to either my cooking or the taste of the salmon...which is a puzzling "white" after cooked.

    Has to do with their diet. Krill I think is what gives them their color. Also, red dye is used in the supermarket on farm raised salmon if you look at ingredients.

    Good garden fertilizers. A salt water salmon Is the only good tasting fish.

    People say that fresh water fish are delicious. If you had fish from salt vs fresh prepared on the same dish . You would select the salt over fresh. I compared this a number of times with friends not telling them which was which

    Everyone picked the salt water salmon and would not finish the fresh water fish.

    Nice report! I can honestly say I'm lucky to have a wife that WANTS to go camping twice a year (on an island, in a tent, no electric, no showers, outhouse) and

    who also enjoys going out on the boat with me.

    Best part, she doesn't have any interest in reeling anything in. She just watches the rods and points out when they fire....

     

    That's great. Mine loves the outdoors & Tent camping - but i think showers and a flush toilet would be the line that she draws. :)

    Yeah, it was just a play in the process of hooking US! I mean, what better than a female you might find loving and caring, AND fishes with you! A fishing buddy right outta the blue! ...

    and then...and then...along came junior, along came the housework, along came shopping...

    For the life of me, I can't figure out why she wants to do all that and give up fishing with me:blink::blink:...huh?...I'll be darn....well;..I wonder what's fer supper when I git back from trollin today?

    haha yeah! Before we went out she made sure to tell me this is not a regular thing, but somewhere between the time that steelhead went cruising through the air and she asked for the belt to fight the king I think a good impression was made. Still waiting on Junior, but we've been married 4 years, so the rest of "life" has had a chance to set in. Hey, anything to spend more time on the lake i'm pushing for :)

    Taking a kid fishing... Help?

    Alright, so I agreed to take a 7 year old out fishing, but would like to find a spot with consistent warm-water action to get him to like the idea of fishing before taking him out on the big lake, which could be boring at first. Any for fishing from my boat near braddocks or sandy? Spots/Presentation/Etc? Not looking for big fish, just consistent action. 

     

    Thanks!

    8/16

     

    Went out for a couple hours after work on Friday with a friend of mine. We started out in about 200, and the screen was alive with bait and hooks everywhere. We set up with a 6 rod spread including downriggers with a variety of spoons, two wires with spin docs and sushi flies, a 600 copper and full core - both with spoons off of the planer boards. With temp down 90 to 110' I knew the core would be way out of temp - however we were seeing fish as high as 40' on the screen. Could not get anything to fire, so we crept out to 3-400. We took 3 hits and misses on the riggers and one on the copper before sunset. Right as the sun hit the horizon the 600 copper releases from the board and starts bopping. I grab the rod and start cranking! Very slow headshakes and clearly a lot of weight. I get up to my spro swivel connecting the backing to the copper and BAM! The fish must have realized it was hooked because it takes off on the first run, takes me nearly halfway through the 1000' of backing. I couldn't believe it. The fish takes 3 more good runs until i make it to the junction of copper to the leader. Finally the fish is 20' from the boat staying low, still have not seen it - it takes its last run going straight down for about 100'. Get that in, and you would think it would be absolutely spent, right? Nope. It has enough juice left to wrap itself around a downrigger cable. We end up getting the fish in the net with a VERY frayed leader - just in time to realize that the boat is now going in a circle and about to run over the empty planer board. No other choice but to cut the engine at this point! We spend the next hour detangling and then headed in. The fish weighed just over 30#, the third of that class fish so far - but the first that truly fought like one! It took approximately 35 mins to get him in.

    Went out for the first time with my wife - she gets very sea sick so usually it's a no no. She put her scop patch on and we headed out around 1:00pm. The launch at sandy was a mess, with the USCG doing inspections as well. Luckily they weren't interested in talking to us, after a jog back from the lot were were on the water within 8 minutes of launching. We ran straight out to 220' and set up everything as Friday except left the core in the boat. Headed due North and had a teen king, 23" steelie and 10lb steelie in the boat within the first hour. My wife having her first go at trolling had a blast bringing the big steelie in- very acrobatic as you may expect! We had a lull for two hours after that, with a couple releases with nobody home around 350. We circled around with nothing for about 45 more minutes. Around 450' the 600' copper fires and we pull in a high teens king pretty quickly. Around sunset it's my wifes turn again, and she sees the port rigger fire, game on! It was a screamer! She had a blast bringing in the low 20's king with the beautiful sunset as a backdrop. It was a 100% spoon bite for us on both trips - not one fire on the wires no matter what paddle we throw on them. The hot lure was black/glow.
