Priority1 Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Welcome to the site Anton. You will like it here. I'm looking forward to hearing about your fishing trips, and maybe seeing some of your pictures. Let me know if you need any help.
caznik Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Welcome to the site AntonIf you don't live at Russia, there where do you live now and have you been fishing here?
toanton Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 >Whats the salmon fishing like there? Salmon fishing is very different here. Fly-fishing, spinning, trolling. >Whats the biggest salmon you have caught so far? about 8lb. But im beginner. At nearest lakes we have only walleye & pike, no salmon. >Do you have a boat? Any pictures? Yes, but its extremely small for trolling purposes . I have inflatable boat. Boats here are bloody expensive. Im in progress >Do you fish for salmon when they run upriver to spawn? No, because its imposible to buy license. only trolling in the lake. Its possble to fish they at the river only on Kola Peninsula (below some of my photos of latest Kola Peninsula trip) >How big do they get there? the biggest about 20-30lb maybe more... some photos of Kola Peninsula 2007 Our camp. Kitchen near Barents Sea (Arctic Ocean) in the left corner and tent in the right. Light extreme, but everything is fine. Most time we are on the river. Arctic day. Sun bright 24 hours some times rain, some times snow he he he. low-tide. sequential camp picture. (2 shots from one place) water go down on 6 meters. Here the river near camp. Its me with salmon. fresh caviar King crab PS: I have plenty of questions about spoons, flashers & files, becasue I need to buy all this. I want complitely refreh my arsenal. so I need to know what I definitely need
Dv8oR Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 WELCOME!!!SWEET PICS!!!Thanks for sharing the spectacular views!Enjoy!!T
GLF Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 fresh caviar Ummmm.....This is where we have a cultural difference. I have never had caviar. When I catch a hen filled with spawn, usually the spawn is saved for use as a spawn sack, NEVER EATEN. King crab OK....what times dinner? PS: I have plenty of questions about spoons, flashers & files, becasue I need to buy all this. I want complitely refreh my arsenal. so I need to know what I definitely need Get those questions asked. Fishing season is around 3 months away here.
toanton Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 here we can't use caviar or shrimp in river becasue salmon can't ignore it. Any natural baites is not allowed. Only casting spoons & files and etc...
Salmon Smoker Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Seafood is my favorite. I have always wonderd if it is safe to eat the salmon eggs right out of the fish, or is there some way to prepair the eggs? I eat them at the sushi bar occasinaly and have collected them for bait out of caught fish.
caznik Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Sorry Anton, I must of miss read your thread because I thought you said that you use to live at Russia... Well anyways, very nice pictures there. Can you give your recipes on how you fix those salmon eggs, I like to try it with some beer. No really if you would Caznik
GLF Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 OK......all of us want to know. How do you prep caviar?
Priority1 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I have eaten Walleye, Perch, and Bluegills Roe, but I have never tried the salmon eggs. Pan fish roe fried, doesn't taste much different than the fish.
toanton Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 OK, recipe that I know. You have caviar in the sack. (that is on the photo) First of all you need separate it from this sack. You should boil water it should be HOT about 60C (maybe little less), put the caviar in the wather and twist sack on the fork, remove it. Then remove all white pieces by wood spoon. They should stick to the wood. Some of my friends use hand for this operation. Then wait few min and put out caviar from the salt water. Water should be salt heavily. This procedure should be done quickly around 5 min on all operations. The caviar is ready First try to do this recipe with little ammount of caviar, becasue you need to find your salt optimum. (time how lond caviar should be in water) I don't know how keep salt caviar for long-period. Its possible to frozen it, after unfreeze its nearly like fresh. PS: Don't forget that albumen crashed (I don't know right word, what's happened with it.) if temperature will be hotter that 60-65C.

I eat them at the sushi bar occasinaly and have collected them for bait out of caught fish. its unsafe. Same as eating fresh salty fish (sushi) without temperature processing.
Salmon Smoker Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks for the recipie I will try it out next good hen I catch!!!
