This is pics from 2 different trips on the Tennessee River....Captain Conan (FurStalker) was Kind enough to take the Big Rig. After the first Trip, Rob wanted to bring his Wife, Jules, along to see the huge Variety of night-time Wildlife....We saw all kinds of Fish, Turtles, Lots of Racoons, Ospreys, and Great Blue Herons......The 1st pic is Robs Dinner yesterday......CARP is on the left and Catfish is on the right....We'll let Rob tell you about it......Now for some PICS....We shot lots of Gar and the first night tried our hand on the Gizzard Shad...Very Hard to to Hit! but we managed to hit 9 of them.........

Allan
That looks like a Scream! Really cool.
Awwwww What a blast!!!
I have to say a HUGE thank you to Don, Sky & Conan for taking me out. We had so much fun it ought to be illegal! :biglaugh:
It's so cool being able to get close to the wildlife too, we were well within 5 yards of beaver, muskrat, blue Heron & racoons. Along with BILLIONS of hatching mayfly (I'm still spittin' 'em out!)
If anyone's interested, the catfish was B-E-A-yootiful! Lightly seasoned with Lowrys & lemon juice, rolled in flour then shallow fried. The carp, despite opinions on the contrary, was delicious :D Lots of bones, but very subtly flavoured & very reminiscent of trout! Next time, however, it'll be made into fishcakes to avoid the bones!
Thanks for sharing that! Too cool! :cool:
My father-in-law is adept at preparing buffalo and carp. It is his favorite fish. He scores the fish flesh with a sharp knife about every 3/8" cutting through the small bones, rolls the cut fish in cornmeal and fries in lard. Open kettle over a hot bed of coals. Oil is so hot it is smokin. The high heat seems to dissolve the bones. I was a skeptic but now know the truth. Buffalo and Carp are pretty good fare prepared in the right way.
Cool outing, guys! Reed and I are jealous. I am going to quit messing around and rig up the lights I bought for my dad's boat and get after them. Keep posting the pics.
