My Favorite Forum Site

If you are a follower to my blog or may have seen my blog in the past it is growing by the day. I recently added a link to my page: http://www.piscatorialpursuits.com

This is my favorite forum for fishing and where I love to look at what people have caught while fishing; I have not made a post on it for quite some time now when I was so busy with work and all but now I plan on making some more posts to it and making some more friends.

If you ever want a good fishing forum I highly recommend this site, you can register and take part in the discussions yourself. You will find a link to them on the right hand side of my page under the links section.

Following Widget

Hello to all who are reading my fishing blog. I would like to say thank you first of all for visiting my site and I really hope you enjoy it. I will attempt to provide you with my knowledge of fishing and hope I can help you in anyway I possibly can.

I have added a new feature to my blog; it is the followers widget and is on the top right of my page; feel free to add your name and follow me along this wonderful and interesting journey. Also be sure to tell your friends about my site and bookmark it as well and check back regularly because I will be updating frequently.

Recipes

I have been brain storming for new ideas and I really think it would be great if any readers or visitors of my blog have any seafood recipes, these can include shellfish and any fresh water or saltwater fish recipes. If you have any recipes feel free to send them to me and I will place your recipe on my blog for others to see. I myself have a wonderful recipe for Teriyaki Beef but it also goes well with fish, here is the recipe:

1 tablespoon fresh ginger or 1 tablespoon ground ginger

2 cloves mashed garlic

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients well in a bowl and place into plastic bag with meat and place into fridge for at least 2-3 hours before cooking as desired. Enjoy!

Bad year for fishing

Well, this year hasn't been very good for salmon fishing for me. I have been fishing about two dozen times and have come home empty handed every time. A few days ago I took my oldest daughter fishing at Kennedy Creek here in Washington and didn't see any fish, it didn't help the matter that there were three seals chasing the fish either. However, up the road about 6 miles in the saltwater they were catching fish left and right, but this year I decided not to purchase my saltwater tag, so therefore, I cannot fish the saltwater.

The next few years may not be too good either with the flooding we have had in the past few years and with the rains and the snow. The floods wash away most, if not all of the eggs that are laid in the river by the fish when they spawn.

I will try to fish for Steelhead this year and maybe I will have better luck with them; but these fish are very smart and the numbers of them are not as plentiful as salmon.

Great Shopping Sites

This site: The Outdoors Alaska Store is an amazing site; they offer a lot of diiferent items and really neat cookbooks for wild game and fish. If I was shopping here I'd buy the book about Putting Fish By which shows you how to can salmon, and if you've ever had canned salmon it is very tasty and delicious and can last on the shelf of your home for months; but if you're like me it will be eaten within a few months; I highly recommend this book by Hazel Felton found in the cookbook category.
