Consistency - You must be able to hit your target at all times. Practice, Practice, Practice and when you finish practicing, practice some more. Ideally you should practice from your boat, and it doesn't have to be on the water. Fish are extremely perishable. Fish that do not have red gills, clear eyes and a fresh odor should be discarded.
Proper care insures firm flesh for cooking.
The secret to preserving fish is to keep it alive or cold. When a cold front catches you by surprise and freezes the locks on your boat's storage compartments, pull the dipstick out of your vehicle's engine and apply a few drops of warm oil to the key slots to free them up. Next time you cook a venison roast, try spreading a thick layer of horseradish over the top. This simple ingredient helps to tenderize the meat plus adds a little zip. It also makes wonderful gravy.
