Walleye Fish tacos recipe.

I found this wonderful recipe and tried it out and by Jove isn't it a feast. I think you should try it out and see how good it is for your health aswell as your general wellbeing.
The taste is fabulous and this is definitely one of those under rated fish recipes that doesn't get much of a look in.

This recipe will make about six large tacos. Northern Pike or trout can be substituted, but walleye is the best.

Ingredients

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp crushed oregano

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Salt & pepper as you like

1 egg yolk

4-6 oz beer

Oil for frying

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tbsp chopped cilantro

1/2 lime

1 ripe avocado

2 cups shredded cabbage

1 to 1.5 lb walleye fillets

Steamed tortillas

Lime for squeezing

1. Make the batter. In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, spices, beer, and egg yolk. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more beer, but don't let it get watery. It should be plenty thick to coat the fish.

2. Cover the batter and let it sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours. You can even let it sit overnight or through the work day.

3. When you are ready to start cooking the fish, heat the oil to 375. Mix the mayo, cilantro, and enough lime juice to make it "saucy." Slice the avocado. Slice the lettuce paper thin. And cut the fish into portions that will fit well in a taco after you fry them.

4. Once the oil is hot, dip the fish in the batter and get it well coated. Cook one to two slices at a time - depending on the size of the fillets. Drop a slice into the oil while the batter is still dripping off and fry it for about 3-5 minutes, turning half way through. While the fish is cooking, go ahead and steam the tortillas.

5. Grab a steamed tortilla, add a piece or two of fish, a couple slices of avocado, sprinkle on some lettuce, add sauce to taste, and just before you eat it, squeeze on some lime juice.

Canada has a wonderful love story entwined with fish, fishing villages and lakes. Over the next set of posts we will explore with great part of Canadian life and History and bring to you some really enthralling and interesting fishing tidbits from this part of the fishing world. There are places to vist, fishes to catch and tales of adventure and fun. So I hope you will sit back, relax and come on this fishing journey with me. I will start with Canada as it is Dale's place existence lol and maybe later on go and take a trot around the rest of the watery Globe to look at other nations and their fishing traditions. I stumbled upon a great bits of info dotted here and there and just cannot wait to start dishing it out. Well shall we offer you some Trout on a plate then?

Surface Fishing Twitch Baits - 101

First off, what is a "twitch" bait? I first heard this term from my Brother-In-Law when he saw me catching fish on one and mumbled, "I never could catch anything on those twitch baits." A twitch bait is really nothing more than a floating crankbait with a very small lip.The bait runs a few inches under the surface with a steady retrieve and returns to the surface when the retrieve is stopped. Some examples would be the original Rapala(tm), or some of the floating Yo-Zuri(tm) lures but there are many models and brands, so pick your favorite.



How do you fish it?



Now onto the important part, how to fish the bait as a "twitch" bait. This is a real simple method but it requires some imagination. The whole idea is to imitate a dying fish on the surface. You've all seen them, those fish that make a few ripples on the surface and then swim a foot or so before returning to the surface again due to exhaustion. This is no different. I fish it in different areas depending on the time of day and weather. One thing though, if its real windy out skip the small twitch bait and move to something that runs underwater or makes a bigger surface disturbance. Basically you will want to cast the bait and let it sit until the rippes settle. Be ready for a strike though, because I have had fish hit the lure when it first lands on the water. Give it a quick jerk to make it dive forward and then let it surface. Twitch it a couple of times on the surface to make it ripple but not move. Repeat and mix up this process. Sometimes I will give it two or three jerks to make it jump forward underwater. Other times I will twitch it just enough to move it forward over real shallow weeds to the next open hole. Here are the areas I concentrate on depending on the time of day.





Night to Early Morning Locations



When fishing one of these baits early in the morning I will fish shallow weed edges or flats with some kind of cover. Usually you will be seeing the tail-end of the night feeding crowd that has been out on the prowl. As the light gets brighter they will move closer to structure for ambush possibilities.



Mid-Day Locations



Here is where you get to test your casting skills. Move up towards the thick weeds that have open pockets. Start casting to the close pockets and work your way out. Move the boat quietly to avoid pushing the fish to other cover. If you don't cover all of a pocket on the first cast then throw back again, the fish might not move far from cover to get their meal.



Evening to Night Locations



Start moving towards the weed edges and flats again. The edges near the cover that you fished in mid-day seems to usually produce. I have fished these baits with success at night but usually move on to Jitterbugs for surface work and Texas-Rig worms for fishing structure. I will write an article soon on my experiences with night Bass fishing.



Conclusion



Hopefully I haven given you some ideas of what to do with those lures. It works for me and is my fallback method when all else fails. The idea is simple, you just have to work at until you get the technique. Feel free to email me with questions or comments about this article, or post your questions in the forums.

Time For A Story

Hey everyone

First I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to stop by and visit my blog. For a while I never took my blogging seriously but now things have changed. I am posting almost everyday and enjoying the hell out of it.

I work out of town for usually three weeks at a time. The last time I was home my sons and I got to put my new canoe in the water. Believe it or not I am a first time canoer. Damn if we didnt almost tip in the first 30 seconds.

We decided to put it on a big lake with lots of boats and big waves. Boy was that a dumb thing to do. About 3 minutes later we were off the lake and I was discouraged as hell. The next week we decided to put it in a little river by home and that turned out a lot better.

We got comfortable very quickly and were catching fish shortly afetrwards. I guess all Im trying to say is be careful and take all the proper precautions. If we would have tipped we were in 40 feet of water and things could have gone bad in a hurry.

Thanks Dale

Tips for Archery Fishing

Also known as Bow fishing, this is a sport wherein a fisherman uses archery equipment to fish.

A regular hunting bow can be used for fishing by simply attaching a reel to the front of the bow grip.

Archery fishing is especially favored by regular hunters when regular game like deer are off season. This way they can continuously hone their skills for whatever season it may be.

Before engaging in archery fishing, one must first take into consideration the following:

1. A fisherman must be duly licensed. Some states require that an individual have a state license to fish.

2. Equipment. Most states have a predetermined set of approved equipment for archery fishing.

3. Archery Safety Course. Still, some states require that an individual go through an approved safety course for archery fishing to ensure that the individual is well versed with the proper safety precautions and information regarding applicable laws in fishing.

4. Seasons. Bow fishing in some states can only be done in certain seasons. This is to allow the fish to spawn.

5. Species of fish. Some states have rules forbidding archery fishing for some species of fish.

The following skills are necessary for an individual to obtain and practice:

Knot tying. Though it may seem like a simple task, tying knots that will not slip (line for the arrow) are crucial in bow fishing.

Tuning. Tuning is making sure that the bow is at its best working condition. To ensure this, one has to continuously adjust the rest and calibrate the nock.

For a faster tuning process, one may shoot a regular bow-fishing arrow (without the tip) onto a target made of cardboard.

Marksmanship or targeting. Bow fishing and bow hunting, though similar on some aspects, really do differ on many things. Arrows for bow fishing are heavier, have larger arrow tips and, the most obvious one, has a string attached to the arrow.

And since fish are shot in the water, resistance differs as when compared to shooting in the air (for bow hunting of games)

There are various methods or ways of archery fishing. This includes the following:

1. Still hunting. A fisherman selects a place by the lake in which he would wait for passing fish to shoot its bow at.

2. Stalking. This can be done on foot or while on a boat. One is in constant motion in an attempt to locate fish.

3. Ambush. Fish that are best ambushed are the ones that are spawning since they tend to crowd thus increasing chances of target.
