New Ohio Fishing Regulations- Transporting Your Catch

huronvalley — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:18:51 +0000

This year Ohio has adopted a new law to make it easier for game officers to identify poachers. This section is copied from the ODNR website, italics added:
It is illegal to possess fish in any form other than whole or cut into complete fillets with skin attached when fishing from shore, or a boat, or unloading fish from a boat on any waters where a fishing license is required until the angler reaches their permanent residence. It is legal to transport fish whole or as fillets with the skin attached while returning from the Lake Erie Islands on a commercial ferry boat. Frozen fish must be transported in a way the fillets can be easily identified and counted.

Please note these changes to help avoid any unnecessary grief on your way back from OH!

Walleye in Lemon Dill Butter

huronvalley — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:19:14 +0000

This simple recipe is a nice alternative to fried walleye at shore lunch sites. It tastes almost like lobster! You’ll really be surprised!

Serves 6

12 – 18 Walleye fillets
1/2 # Salted Butter
3 Fresh Lemons
1 Tablespoon Dill
Old Bay Seasoning

Fillet and skin walleyes, rinse and pat dry.

Slice one lemon thinly and set aside.

Have your camp fire going so your coals and flames are about 8-12 inches below your grate.

Use heavy duty aluminum foil and triple it up for strength (make this large enough to accommodate all filets in a single layer). Use part of butter to layout pats across the foil, generally one or two pats per fillet. Lay fillets on top of butter pats. Season lightly with Old Bay Seasoning.

Melt remaining butter in a small pot and squeeze the juice of two lemons into butter , adding 3/4 of the dill to the mixture. Bring to a simmer and let stand for five minutes.

Pour butter mixture over fillets, place sliced lemon over fillets and sprinkle with remaining dill. Cover with a single sheet of foil sealing tightly and place on grill. After 15 -20 minutes the top should rise up and then poke two small holes to release the steam. Leave on grill five minutes longer. Serve with your normal shore lunch goodies, beans and potatoes and bread.
