Lakes 3 and 4 split the 1,000 lbs. stock last Thursday. This was the last Catfish stock for 2013. It’s not too late to come catch some Catfish for your next backyard fish fry. Mackerel, mealworms or shrimp have been the popular baits.

Recipe of the Week: Barbequed Catfish

Ingredients

• 4 (7-ounce) catfish fillets, skinned, de-boned
• 4 tablespoons dry rub
• 6 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1/2 cup hickory chips
• 1/2 cup water

Directions

Preheat the grill.

Coat each catfish fillet with the dry rub. Dip the fish into the oil and place the fillets on a hot grill to establish grill marks. After establishing grill marks and the fillets release from the grill, place the catfish into a smoker. Smoke for 2 minutes using the hickory wood chips. Add water to the chips and steam the fish for another 2 minutes. Remove the catfish from the smoker and serve immediately with tartar sauce.
