I started fishing this summer.  Fishing just wasn't something I did as a welfare kid with a single mom and no dad around, and I just never got a chance/got into it until this year.

Things have changed.  I spent the summer fishing white perch out of the Magothy and Severn Rivers, and frying them up for dinner.  Delicious.

Today, I went fishing for rockfish for the first time.  We used a surface plug and I got my first two keepers.  The small one was 21.5" and the large one, pictured in the link, was 30."  One fillet from that fish is just out of the oven, will be eaten within moments.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Hard to be grumpy when you spend the day drunk and fishing.

Finally got my second deer of the season.  First deer was a large 5pt buck.  Yesterday stuck a 115lb doe from 50 yds with my assault crossbow.  Having 7lbs of jerky made, 10lbs italian sausage links, 3lbs Jalepeno/Cheddar slim jims, 3lbs Trail Bologna and the rest in roast.  Really need to just give in and buy my own supplies to make this stuff

For what, two deer a season?   How many would you have to butcher yourself before you make back what you put into the supplies?  Seems to me the guys who do this as a service are great value, particularly when you factor your own labor into the cost of doing it yourself.

You're right there.  As many deer as I've had by this year, I've been pretty selective.  Preferably if  I had the equipment to do the sausage/cuts then I'd save 300 bucks this year.  Got a smoker for christmas, figure  I can make  my own jerky and save the 8.50/lb. The guy I go to now is priced a little higher than some places in PA, but he's closer.  The main thing for doing your own cuts is you need to hang the meat to get the gamey flavor out. That part I don't know a good way around unless I build a shed.

You'd spend how much to save $300 and 8.50/lb.?  What does the equipment cost?

With these winters we're having nowadays, you can't hang 'em outside; you need some refrigeration.

Anyway, put a :CF sticker on that jerky and send me some.

Meat slicer is only around 100 bucks.  I have a meat grinder.  Have the smoker, but like you said the main thing is having somewhere cold enough to hang it for an extended period of time.  I have a small 5x3 shed that i guess i could cut a hole out and throw in an AC unit.  on average it costs about 150 to get a deer deboned, and to get the amount of jerky/sausage that i'm happy with.  In the part of maryland that I'm in, there's only one place that does the processing.  Everyone else does their own.  Like i said, good guy, but its 85 bucks just for him to take the hide off, and to debone the meat.  If he was around 55 like other places I wouldn't even be considering this.

I'm gonna be trying a few recipes for some of my leftover steaks from last year.  If it turns out well, i'll send you some.  Still owe you for NFL Blitz for the OG Xbox
