Yummy Yummy Campfire dinner!


Recommended Posts

Hardwood fire, 1 hour old, with a good coal bed and a flame log kept going.
Green Salad with radishes and shredded carrots.
Fileted pike
Cast-Iron skillets (2) with peanut oil
Baby Portabello mushrooms
corn/cob/husk
canned potatoes
equal parts flour and crushed corn flakes
Summit Extra Pale Ale

Wrap Corncob in husk in aluminum foil, put on grill over cooking fire.
Heat peanut oil until a drop of water in it churns and gurgles, then pops & splatters.
Put canned potatoes into oil, and cook until brown. Add baby Portabello Mushrooms.

Oh yeah, the fish. Mix flour and crushed cornflakes in big Ziplock bag. Shake filets to flour-coat. Set aside. Add Summit Extra Pale Ale to ziploc bag and mix until the consistency of ...well...not runny, but not stiff, either. Put filets back in bag. Coat with batter. Fry in hot peanut oil.
Drain fish, mushrooms and browned potatoes on some newspaper, or the bag from the beer.
Eat it all- except the Green Salad.
Throw the salad into the woods. Who the heck eats salad when they're camping, anyway?!

This was the best meal I had all year! I shared the fish with an adjacent campsight and they brought me over a campfire apple pie - applepie filling in bread smacked into a campfire pie-maker.

Corn in the husk..Try this Pre-Soak the corn still in the husk for 2-3 hours at the cabin, put into baggie with some water. When it's time to cook just put the corn still in the husk on the grill ( no need for foil) takes about 2-5 minutes depending on fire, husk will brown up, keep turning. Be really carefull when husking very hot...Gives the corn yet another flavor

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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?
    • 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.
