I don't know how crappie fishing at the upper lake is, but the Lagoon has some nice crappie. I don't know if Robo Bass wants to tell people about the lure. He is the one that was using the lure and started catching crappie, so then I switched to the same thing!Originally Posted by Harry
If you want to know what we were using just PM us and we will let you know, just don't want to post it for all the lurkers.
Nice Crappie Guys! Did ya fry them up? MMmmmmmmmm, tasty!
Nope, I didn't want to kill my PB and we didn't have enough for a good meal
We released them, but we might keep a couple next time. I need a good recipe.
Fried Crappie
First off the following recipe is not really "Healthy" because its fried but it sure is tasty so I indulge from time to time.
Ingrediants needed:
Canola Oil
Egg Wash: Egg, 1 tablespoon ofZesty Itialian Dressing, 1 teaspoon Kikoman Soy Sauce, 2-3 shakes of Green Tabassco Sauce
Coating: 1/2 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs, 1/4 cup Corn Meal, 1/4 cup flour. Sprinkle to taste, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper.
Of course if your cooking a mess of fillets increase the amounts
1. Heat Canola oil in frying pan over medium heat.
2. Take crappie fillets and dredge, lightly coat, them in flour.
3. Dip fillets in an egg wash
4. Coat with coating
Test if oil is hot by dropping a little bit of the coating into it. it should float and start to fry. Place fillets into oil and cook for about 5 minutes, flip and cook for about 5 minutes more. I'm not sure about the times because I cook by sight and sound. Basically you want the fillets to be a light golden brown. Remove from oil and let oil drain on metal rack or paper towels. Serve with your choice of tarter sauce or lemon or nothing at all,the choice is yours.
Enjoy!.......................Damn, now I want some crappie fillets.
Thanks for the recipe
