Hey, yea hopefully this is a good sign for the up coming months fishing .......! I mainly fillet the trout leaving the skin on one side and either brine then smoke them or skin them and apply those Fogdog Panko crumbs I havent tried batter ...... yetQuote:

Whats the word on this brining , Roy ?
I brined a chook once, but it was a lot of work ...
Was very tender though
Tim
Yea true brining is a bit of work but can be worth the effort -plenty of good advice on "Google" , Typically ill just rub a good dose of sea salt & brown sugar into a fillet , warm a bit of manuka Honey in the microwave and brush this on top ill leave this on a drying rack in the beer fridge skin down for a day or two , then dry the fillets off with a paper towel - leave covered outside in a cool breeze for a couple of hours then smoke them.
Smoke sticks best to a dry surface, I find taking the time to do this makes a heap of difference to the smoke - also add some lemmon pepper just before smoking can also give them a nice nudge.........................Tight Lines & smoking barrels...................:thumbsup:
Ahhhh thats what you meant.
Yep, I do that anyway ... At least 20-30 min in the fridge with salt and mostly brown sugar..
Yep, smoke takes well on something dry but it takes amazingly on the pellicle .. Thin skin of protein that forms on the outside of almost any flesh
I do a smoked variation of preserved salmon ... Salmon 4 days in the fridge in a click clack with salt and brown sugar. Comes out all glassy and translucent. Thinly sliced on crackers with cream cheese. Even better cold smoked
Tim
Another beaut day.

On a day like that DD it would be a bonus to hook up, cause 10 mins later you could be roughing it. I was out in the middle from whangamata bay to boat harbour. Motor off beer in hand copper line out, and shit a storm came over the foot hills that fast I thought I'd be struck by lightning winding in, up and off and only just beat it back to Kinloch. It's a fearsome beast at times
Caught 3 yesterday - not bad seeing we went out at 11 and back at 2 - so the wrong time of day. The other weekend caught 6 between 3 again we went out mid morning and back mid arvo.Quote:

Oh in 8 metres of water, fastest hook up jigging from stopping boat 20 seconds, dropped the flys over the side and hooked up going down, thought I had a snag, Taupo an interesting fishery
Here is a few pics from last night with @falconhell @geezejonesy, @possum trapper. Beersies are going down well tonight after two late nights and early mornings with our guests.:beer::beer::beer:

Dundee stick with fishing mate. Either that or get Peter Jackson to give you some pointers on panning a camera more slowly. Bloody near got sea sick watching that. Ha ha ha ha
