Spotted Bay Bass on Cedar Planks
Field Staff Writer at Harvesting Nature
I was born and raised in northeast Pennsylvania, and currently live in the hill country of Texas.I consider myself a western hunter at heart, enjoying glassing vast landscapes and the thrill of the stalk.My motivations as an outdoorsman are rooted in the sustenance and physical aspects.In fact, my largest driving factor for physical fitness is preparing for upcoming hunts and ensuring I’m well prepared to climb mountains and cover ground with a heavy pack.

This recipe I accredit to my wife. She took a recently caught Spotted Bay Bass and turned it into an amazing meal. Roasting the fish and vegetables on the cedar plank gives everything a fresh woodsy flavor.
