"Combat" Trout

Brother and I survived our semi-annual adventure into "combat" fishing on one of our local trout lakes and each came away with a limit of the little rainbow delights.  Now, what are some of your favorite ways to prepare these critters?  I usually just pan fry them gently after dusting with a little seasoned flour and maybe use a squirt of fresh lemon over it before eating.  But, I would like to get some other ideas that have been tried and voted keeper by the diners.  I want to have some guests over for dinner who haven't eaten trout before, just walleyes, which they love.  Since trout and walleyes have their own flavor characteristics, I don't want them to be turned off to the trout.  That's why I am reaching out for ideas.

Wishing you all a safe, successful season for whatever species you are after.:)

Serve them fresh as you can. Growing up in Southeast MN I fished for trout a lot. We cooked them on the grill with a little oil on them and salt and pepper. They were awesome tasting, wild fish orange meat is the best. I froze them once and wanted to serve to some relatives. They were awful, very fishy tasting after freezing for some reason.

Going off of your location, I think I know where you went.;)  Congrats on limiting-out!  can be tough in a put/take pond when you're elbow-to-elbow with the fish-starved masses. I haven't done it in years, but always had fun

Brine' em and Smoke 'em!

That's the only way I'll ever cook trout again.  Love fish..Trout?  Not so much, but SMOKED is one of my very favorite things.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
