As you've prolly read from my previous threads, I'm kinda a born-again fisherman. And now I have a few lil' fishin' buddies, too.
At any rate, a few questions for the pro's and experienced anglers here:
1- can anyone direct me to a link on the proper way to clean and filet fish? I've tried this many times but never got it right. Looking to clean/filet trout, panfish and the occassional cat or bass.
2- waders... wouldn't an angler in waders spook fish? If I wade up to a fallen tree in a lake for crappie or bass, wouldn't the fish be spooked off? Does anyone even use waders for anything beyong FF'ing streams anymore?
Edited to add:
3- When fishing from a canoe, what the best way to keep the fish I intend to keep? Dragging a stringer or basket is unrealistic while paddling. I've seen guys fill a ice chest with ice and throw their catch on ice. Live wells in canoes don't work too well. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
