taking kids ice fishing for first time

[Rockfish9]

Sweet, firm a little like flounder. .very mild...unlike those toothy varmints that taste like yesterday's dirty sock smells.

Sounds good to me, thanks.

Most of the table-fare from freshwater, with the exception of trout and salmon, are all what I would consider "flakey white meat" fish.
Crappie, perch (white and yellow), heck even sunfish are quite tasty.

Although they are edible, bass, pickerel and pike are not as "desirable", but it depends on who you ask.

If you are fishing with "kids" (meaning children) than you should also consider trying to jig for "panfish", as crappie, perch and sunnies can usually all be found in the same general areas.

Good Luck!

White, yellow perch and hornpout I use to skin and pan fry, milk/ flour...

Pickerel, scale, steak, milk/flour pan fry....

What doesn’t taste good cooked on a camp fire....
