Canoe Camping / Trout Catch n Cook / RAIN & BUGS
Рет қаралды 23,798
Күн бұрынCraig and I head to Maine for some fun. With nasty weather in the forecast we decide against plan A and opt for plan B. Which wasn't much of a plan at all. We were not backing out of a trip, that was not an option. Instead, a much less ambitious trip to an area we are familiar with. The plan being go with the flow for 10 days or see how much we were willing to take............

Poached to perfection ... .. Great looking canoe ,, what make/model is it ?? prefer double paddle ?? .. .... Beatles OK ,, bugs SUCK !! .... Stay Safe ...
@ItsGoodintheWoods Жыл бұрын
The willing fish really enhanced the experience. I like to BBQ trout in foil just as you mentioned when I am home. Absolutely delicious. I have yet to eat a bass. I think about it a lot, but I hear a lot of conflicting opinions about them. And I don't want to kill one just to take a bite and not like it. I need to try a bite or two from someone that is doing it. How many bass have you eaten? The canoe I used on this trip is my Northstar Trillium in the carbon stealth layup. Weighs in at 21lbs. It's a nice canoe, I like it a lot. Just got it this spring. I prefer double paddle when I am doing any sort of distance and when it is windy. It's much more efficient. That said, I have a fondness for the single blade as well. Depends on circumstance and my mood. Beatles are Fantastic! Bugs suck a$$. Thanks for watching and the awesome comment. Cheers man

@@ItsGoodintheWoods I scale it and gut it, rub it with some olive oil or butter, season it, place it in a roasting basket, put it over some hot coals. It absorbs the smoky flavor just like the trout, the skin gets crispy. Or you can fillet it and bread it and fry it. But my favorite and less messy way is roasting. You could use the same method you used with the trout. You need to try it sometime. Comment me back when you do and let me know if you liked it.
