More info for kids please

Dear FWR,

I can't say enough about your site. It has been informative and entertaining. I am new to fishing (well I used to fish as a kid 20 years ago ... but that doesn't really count). Now I'm fishing with my 3 year old in Victoria, bass and perch mostly. But my real love is salmon.

Keep up the good work! "A fishing with kids" section is the only thing I would add. I'll send you any interesting photos as they come up. I attached his first fish, yellow perch, a great fish to get kids started on.

Victoria ... and anywhere else I can find fish

Another great chum recipe!

Dear FWR,

I love Chum in what has been call poormans lobster.

8 cups of water
1/4 cup or salt
1 cup of brown sugar

Bring this to a boil and than add cubed chunks of chum when they float they are done
remove from the brine and serve with garlic butter. This taste like lobster!

Deep fried chum is a hit!

Dear FWR,

I live in Michigan. U.S.A. and try to use the Internet for some recipes. I originally started out looking for a batter for deep fried chicken using buttermilk and tarragon seasoning, and then found recipes for fish, and it brought back the memories of some good deep fried fish, like cod and such and the delicious flavored deep fried chips (fries) and wondered if you had a recipe for the batter. I just found it on your web page and now will try it out. It looks like I may be able to do this and hope it turns out as good as it looks on your photos of it. Thank you ever so much for the photos that accompany your recipes.

I also see where some use cornmeal mixed with the flour and may give it another flavor. Here's to new ideas on old-time favorites. I don't know how I finally stumbled on this as I was using a search for the recipes and was surprised at how many others enjoy the battered fish and chips.

thank you very much!

Phil
