Wow that’s so good eating right there 👊🎣 I'm not sure about River Chum. Ocean Chum are prized by Japanese for Sushi, best salmon caviar (Indians used to sell it for export to Russia), best fishing eggs, best cold-smoked salmon. This one's fresh out of the ocean so I'm cooking a fillet today and mak...

Awesome, thats a great harvest! Those are some cool colors on those Chum too. Really makes me want to drive out to one of the reservoirs where they stock Atlantic Salmon here in Mass. Apparently fall is a good time to target them from shore. Id definitely keep any legal salmon I caught because that...

40 lb of Salmon fillets brining for smoking. We are going to have to buy a bigger smoker.

I might be one of those bass nutz! :grin-squint I fish primarily for sport as well and pretty much only catch and release. I have nothing against anyone taking home a bass to eat it… as long it’s not a trophy sized fish! :winking-tongue Any little one to two pounders are no problem though. Actually...

Recently went to this LT Wright as my 'wading in the river' fishing knife - much more convenient and handles everything.

Great-looking fish. I love fishing at dusk and dawn, but since I can't see even with sunlight, I really can't tie set-ups when it's dark. Funny - I had not even had a strike. My friend who caught it had also not had a strike and we had been fishing for about 10 hours. He says: "I'm going to ca...

Wow, that’s an awesome fish! That is a monster, very impressive! Beautiful colors on that brown! Makes me want to get out to the local trout ponds but I haven’t been able to get away from the Cape Cod Canal! The fall striper migration is still going strong, so I’ve been taking advantage of that as ...

The Coho run has started. We went yesterday and my buddy caught a 12 pound Coho twitching in the dark, which is unheard of. We caught nothing else, so drove 80 miles to a different river and my other friend caught this 25 pound King (that's me netting it). I was shaking while netting it - just a mon...

SNITS! LOL First time I’ve heard that but it’s funny! Actually reminds me that Massachusetts just recently began stocking trout for the season. I’m still fishing for bass though! :grin-squint I probably won’t start fishing for trout until around November. SNITS make for good eating and fun times ca...

Test smoking run on dehydrated peppers. The smoke flavor wasn't all that great and the sweetness of the peppers disappeared. I'll probably just crush and jar without smoking the rest. https://i.imgur.com/kiIBYVN.jpg Nevertheless that a killer photo and what a slab of meat…there’s so much smoke I di...

I am completely satisfied with the Itamae Murray Carter knives, the Spyderco Santoku and the 6.5" SE kitchen knife. For smaller knives to supplement, I've got the 3-knife Victorinox set. Add your favorite fillet knife and you're set.

These Scotch Bonnet pods will get dehydrated, smoked, ground, then mixed with the various Paprika peppers that I grew this year. They will add fire and sweetness to my flakes and powder. I got two Scotch Bonnet pods total - both Chocolate - so I had to purchase the ones below. https://i.imgur.com/Yp...

Man that’s so cool, great hauls of salmon dude…learn as you go and have a lot of fun along the way 🎣🎣🎣 Yes, it was a great experience, but the Pink Salmon run has finally ended - I caught two Saturday morning, then fished for another 6 hours that day, off-and-on, and didn't get a single strike. So ...

Have you ever used the Flatiron Pepper Grinder? It slices the flakes instead of grinding them. I really prefer it to sprinkling crushed red pepper flakes onto food. We’re going to try growing scotch bonnets next year. Usually I grind to flakes and powder in advance, using a mortar and pestle, then ...

Harvest day , Jalapeños and Habaneros to a friend .Dan

Very nice. I will be growing habaneros next year, as they do much better here than Scotch Bonnets.

The peppers looked great in June, but never produced much. The Scotch Bonnets never produced at all, so I ordered some fresh pods that arrive this week, to smoke and mix with the pods below. Dehydrated and ready to smoke, left to right: Kalocsa Paprika, PCR Paprika, Esplette. These will be mixed wit...

That is awesome!! I wish there was salmon fishing that good near me. This situation is a little unusual, but a good way for a beginner to learn and get confident. My understanding is that when the Steelhead come in in a couple of weeks, the reel fun begins. I've been curing eggs to prepare. But it'...

I’m sending you my address 😉 Because of this incredible Pink salmon run, the fishermen are getting really picky - guy next to me this morning says he's only keeping Silvers and Kings. I look at it this way: the pink only run here every other year, and it's for a relatively short period. So catch 'e...

Hey three outa four good days is great!!! I can taste those Salmon right now 😋 I still brought home two on Friday. We have been eating it every day - never gets old. Had some of the smoked King last night and will have a pan-cooked fillet for lunch. Back out in the morning after a four-day rest. St...
