    Here is a tip. If you would like to freeze hamburger patties and not have stuck together or smashed together during the vacuum process. Pre-freeze your patties spread out on a plate. Then vacuum seal them. Freeze them over night works best. Once you have the vacuum sealed put them back in the freezer. Great for taking on camping trips. Use less ice and won't get water logged. Works for fish and other foods too.

    Well that was very cool. I wish I can catch that amount of slabs, this area in my county ( Stanislaus County ). Most of the lakes are been used for water but soon as the show melts the water will fill those back up and fishing will be happening again. In January 2019 the rivers around here will open up for fishing and going to try luck again. I sure enjoyed the video and will try this as soon as the fish come back.

    I would love to be where I could catch fish (crappie) like you all. I was checking property around your lake and noticed that many would require flood insurance. Then I watched some flooding videos from last year and wondered if you all were under water during that flood.

    • @COLE_and_JAY
      @COLE_and_JAY  5 лет назад +2

      Yeah, our property isn’t in the flood plain, but we still have to have flood insurance. A few years ago my dad’s old place had a foot of water in his house when the lake flooded. The lake doesn’t flood all the time, but about once a year it will come up pretty good with some heavy rains. I’m sure there are some properties that really get hit hard.

    Great video! I would be lost without my vacsealer. I am on my third one. I have worn 2 completely out. Between deer and fish and home grown vegetables, I use mine almost daily. I also vacseal smoked and cooked meat like chicken and BBQ. When sealing cooked meat the vacseal bags are good for boil in bags and it doesn't dry they meat out or lose any flavor. When I light my cooker, I usually do at least 20 or 30 lbs of meat. Serious question.....in NC we have consumption warnings due to heavy metals and contaminants in our waters. Do you have any concerns of this in your area? Thanks for sharing!

    • @COLE_and_JAY

    Question: I bring back my crappie from FL and freeze them in water to avoid freezer burn. Do you ever get any with freezer burn or use them that quick to avoid. I freeze in water to make the 1500 mile trip to MI and 3 days of driving. Sure would take up less room in the coolers this way and have to think about this.

    • @COLE_and_JAY
      @COLE_and_JAY  5 лет назад +2

      We haven’t had any issues with freezer burn. Not sure what the shelf life is with this method, but I know for sure we have eaten year old fish in vacuum sealed bags. This way is definitely more efficient for storing fish and it takes them no time to thaw out which is really great! 👍👍👍

      They are here in Arkansas right now and the majority of these birds will continue to migrate down towards the coast and into Mexico. They came down from the Northern plains up in the Dakotas and up in Canada. That is where they breed at. Some non breeders will stay on the coast year round.

    I saw a cheaper way to freeze your fish on UTUBE. just wrap it in plastic wrap making sure you squeeze out as much air as possible. make sure you fold over the ends as you roll it up..Put the rolls in gallon or guart freezer bags and freeze. Honest your fish will last a year at least. I've even eaten some older than that and they were not freezer burned and still tasted just fine.

    The pelicans are cool to look at but they sure can damage a fishery. They started coming to the Rock river 4 or 5 years ago for the summer and there is a very noticeable drop in the fish population. I hope they do not stay by you guys for your sake. They by the way are North American White pelicans and they live in fresh water rivers and lakes and they migrate in the spring and fall.
