Do yourself a favor. Get a couple of bags of Funyuns, crack them open & squeeze air out. Smash them up real fine and batter your fish in Funyun crumbs & fry. 100 times better than panko crumbs.

Use to love funyuns, going to have to give that a try.

Wonder how Julio's Freaking Hot Chips would be?

Never been too crazy about Funyuns. I like Cheetos, what about Cheetos?

Caught and cooked these yesterday. I'm starting to like cornmeal. I put just enough oil to cover bottom of pan, all it needs, and I just discard the oil. Minute and a half on each side, prefect...

Hot dang. No trees in view, finding them brush piles. You got 8 poles out like the pros do now? Saw that on TV the other day for a crappie tourney.

Had some today. Can't beat cornmeal.

Cooked crappie for 8 last night. I deep fry mine with cornmeal I don’t use any wash. I take them strait from the ice water to the seasoned cornmeal and into the grease. I’ll put my fish up against anyone’s. I’m using electric these days instead of gas. I like it much better unless I have to cook for 20 or more.

I feel the same way, I have a 2 basket one gallon counter top fryer at the house, it cooks fries, tots, fish, chicken strips etc. a few nights a week and is way more convenient and easier to use than gas. Set the thermostat, the light turns off when it up to temp and get busy. Cant believe I never used one before this one.

Flooded timber. I been using jigs all summer, but last few trips trying minnows, has not helped. 2 poles max.

Scalebuster and redchevy, what is a good brand of counter top electric?

I’ve had this one the longest.
