  Pappy, that's the bow that made me want to seriously fish for carp and keep them.  I love it.

oh my god i love these skins so much we dont kill carp in the uk as they are our biggest sport fish and they are all owned.

You know I pretty much go a little bonkers of all the "less govt not more" as an anitliberatarian but that is a bit rediculous.  I understand that they are a sport fish there, and they are quite good smoked (buffalo are better), but. . . Well I shouldn't speak about stuff I know nothing about.  There are probably cultural issues at play also.

Pappy~ do you put the TB3 on the outside also or only on between the wood and skin?  Do you thin it?

"carp skin prep along."  That would be great!!

I'd like to try some local fish, maybe Red Rockfish or Blue Bass? I just don't know how to take care of the skins....  Those Carp skins are beautiful!!

  I will try and be as detailed as possible with good pics to show everything from start to finish.  Thanks for all the comments.  Now if luck will only be on my side when I hit the river on my days off.

Nice looking Skins Man!!!

I have some Flounder Rawhide all dried awaiting the proper application!!!
Halibut would be better than Flounder me thinks.

I've killed many a flounder...but never got any rawhide from them. How are you processing them?

HoBow,

Just filleted the flounder in fours with the skin on.
Then flipped the fillets off the skin, for the grill... :)
Next scrapped the flesh side of the four pieces of skin with a large flint shard and tacked them down on a bit of plywood.
Hung the board under the eves of our patio cover for a few days until dry, the humidity has been really low lately.
They dried nice and crisp with little or no smell an just a bit of oil in a spot or two.
Should be ready to go when an opportunity presents itself.

Regards,

  Headin' out later this morning for an all day carp expedition to gather some up for the prep-along.  The temps are suppose to be around 70 here, but never tried for carp this late in the year.  Wish me luck!!!!!
