Ash cakes are what we make when we are primitive hunting.
Red wheat flour, mixed with water(not much) and pinched out
into flats , a good hardwood fire, then rake out a nice
place on the coals and put the cakes on the embers,
turn once, don't burn, will keep for several days, eat
with venison jerky. Not gourmet, but will keep you alive
in the hard times.
Have you been striped bass fishing before?
tet68,
Yep, basically the same thing I call hoe cakes, only I use cornmeal.
I could live off of jerky, love the stuff.Do you make your own? Deer?
I can make all kinds of breads in a Dutch oven. I also cook some on open coals.
Honey I have caught a many striped bass. The state I live in has several big mountain reservoirs, full of them (I live on one of them). We had the world record for landlocked stripers twice in the 1990s here.
I also caught a boatload of them a few years ago while at a convention in Virginia Beach, Va. Was fishing the riprap and me and two guys on the boat were pulling in 12- to 16 pounders every cast. My arms hurt for a week. But it was a blast.
A few years ago I did quite a bit of fishing below the big power dams -- what they call here "fishing the boils."
It can be quite dangerous and I almost went over once and learned a lesson. Basically, when they are generating below the dams you run your boat up over the churning water, cut the motor, and drift big shad behind you (we net our own shad).
You get hung up a lot and I thought I had hooked another rock and told the guide "dang, I'm hung again."
Bout that time my line started moving against the current and I realized this wasn't a rock. Took awhile but I pulled in a 16-pounder.
I love every kind of fish, trout, largemouth, smallmouth, stripers, redfish, bluegill, speckled trout, etc.
I was in Alabama last week and my cajun brother-in-law (he's from Louisiana) cooked us up a big mess of fish. That man can fry the best fish in the world.
Do you turkey hunt? It's addictive. I've hunted for alligator (in Lousiana), quail, duck, bear, deer and turkey. I didn't say I killed all of that -- but have hunted all this at one time or another.
Nothing like watching a big old boss gobbler strut his stuff in gun range is there?
