We had lasagna with venison meat sauce.  I think it may be my wife's best one yet.   Perfectly cooked this time, the last one she overcooked and dried out a little bit.  I cant wait for some leftovers for lunch tomorrow.   This was the first grind we have had from my own 1.5 yr crossbow buck last season, after we finally polished off the 2.5 yr buck a friend gave us early in bow season.   Yesterday she made crock-pot soup using a frozen roast from that same buck and it was also top-notch.   I always like some salad and vegetables as side dishes but there is nothing like some properly prepared venison as the main entre.  I cant think of anything else I could eat every day and never get sick of.

How is the largemouth bass population looking there these days?  I am planning on taking the wife and kid's out there for opening day this June as I heard they are very plentiful there these days.   I spent many a spring day there in my youth catching "calicoes" and perch at my uncle's cabin.   Now days, I prefer catching and eating bass, as their higher oil content makes them a little better for baking and grilling.   It's hard to beat the perch, crappies, and walleyes for frying though.   I like washing them down with Genesee Cream-ale.

I don't know for positive but I'm pretty sure the bass fishing is primo on Honeoye.  Somebody here should know..........

Honeoye Is loaded with largemouths....Not a lot of big fish, but plenty of 12-15 inchers and enough 2-3 pounders to keep it interesting.

 

You can have them to eat, though...I prefer smallies over largemouths and would much rather have bluegills, perch, or crappies over either..

 

Genny Cream Ale, eh..?..  You haven't LIVED until you have experienced a Genny Cream Ale fart in a snowmobile suit....

I took out a package of venison steaks (cutlets) pounded them and fried for two minutes each side. I was lucky enough to get a tub full of my sister in laws homemade apple sauce last weekend. Had the steak with the apple sauce and it was great! There is something about mixing fruit and venison together that brings out a great taste. My stew always has apples and pears in it.

I am glad to hear of all the 12 - 15 inch largemouth. As a pure,"meat" fisherman, that is exactly the size I am after. I usually release bass over 15", and try and move to an area where the "eating size" ones are. I also prefer catching smallmouth as they put up about double the fight, pound per pound. On the table however, I would give a very slight preference to the 12-15" largemouth. The fillets seem to be a little sweeter and a good amount thicker. Now that they have the round gobies to feast on, the smallies in Lake Erie, Ontario, and the Niagara and St Lawrence rivers are getting quite fat themselves however. If you are looking for large smallies on Lake Erie, I find they often suspend during the summer . If I can get my jig to fall thru them, there are often good 12-15" "eaters", on the bottom below. I can never resist setting the hook on them big ones when I feel them pick it up on the fall. We have about 4 quarts of bass left in the freezer, which should be right on to get us to the 3rd Saturday in June.
