What’s a Pickerel? 🙂
Hello, stranger! Should I have called it walleye for you non-prairie folks?
Real Fisherman everywhere call them Walleye. Just sitting here rigging my planer boards for the season! Cheeks are generally referred to as “Poor Man’s Shrimp”… I prefer Crappies myself. How about a pan fish recipe; all we’ve been catching through the ice. The big lake just never got safe this winter.
Fishing and car racing… seems things are as they should be. Cheers!
