Got one of those Thalia Foodsaver suction bagging things so my fish and game won't get freezer burned...

[Guest]

A new Ranger Boat. Big Thanks to my wife!!

[Aqua Eye]

ScottS-How did you pull that one off?! You must have been VERY GOOD! Either that or naughty,... but **** good at it! I guess I have a new goal for next year eh? To funny -TROY

Old Boat-Not big enough, wet, rough ride.

New Boat-Bigger, heavier, smoother dryer ride. It helps to exagerate a little too

Dman, good idea. I've had a couple batches of jerky lose their seal and I thought it was because of the sharp edges. Never have had a problem with fish or pheasant losing its seal.

Thanks Dman...Great tips!!!
I have a large chest freezer so I could see the sticking becoming a problem.
I now can't wait to use it...I guess I will have to go fishing...oh darn

Being the kind soul that I am, I gave lots of nice fishing gear and received none.

Of course....now that some folks I know are better equipped (brother-in-law), they'll need a fishing partner.

"Uh, Honey, your brother wants to hit the ice this weekend......" How can she refuse a family outing?

This giving thing is where it's at....

Some other tips for the vacuum sealer>

Put a folded paper towel in the bag if you have very moist stuff and

if you are sealing steaks or anything else you want to keep from getting all deformed,
prefreeze them on a cookie sheet just so they get stiff, then seal them in the bag. I cut my own game and it helps keep the steaks looking like steaks!

I asked for a Croxton Pond bag and wouldn't you know it, along came Christmas morning and there was one bag inside of the other one. Did someone else ask for one and maybe it got delivered to me by mistake.....nah, no one else would want one of those.......

Merry Christmas to all and have fun using all those new toys.

I got enough stuff before christmas including a nice fishing boat. It would be all right by me if I did'nt get another thing ever.

Swill/ I have had one for a couple of years. Heres a good tip for ya. When your done packing and ready to put your packed goods in the freezer. Put it into another bag. I use gallon sized zip-lock bags and just reuse them. Here's the reason,when you place your foodsaver bags in the freezer, they will stick to anything such as other food items or the freezer racks. Then if the foodsaver bags are moved such as when getting food out of the freezer, you will tear a tiny hole in the bag and you will lose your seal and the food will get freezer burnt. I lost a nice batch of Walleye the first time i vaccum packed. Also if doing fish,make sure they are dry before packing.The foodsaver isnt strong enough to pull out all the moisture.
Good Luck, its a great product.

I got a Jiffy Legend 9" with the new stealth cutting blade. I couldn't decide between an 8" and a 10", so my wise girlfriend got me a 9". Why didn't I think of that? Also gift certificates to Sportsman's Warehouse, Gander, Mill's Fleet, and my local bait shop. Must have been extra good this year.
