Hi everyone, it’s time for a photo contest! This round will be for freshwater species only, and runs through until June 19th. Prizes are huge. First place prize even includes a guided day fishing with a Bassmaster Classic Elite Series Classic Champion. Details on how to enter will be in the comments below. Think whitefish, lake trout, northern pike, freshwater salmon, someone has to have a good smoked walleye and crappie recipe out there. This pic is of Georgian Bay King Salmon - so delicious! Good luck in the contest!

We just finished building a Smoking Fish temperature standard for the site.

This is based on how people actually smoke fish-not just BBQ temps.

It covers:
• Real smoking temps
• Internal temp targets
• Cold vs hot smoking
• Wood choices

Curious if this lines up with how you've been doing it.
