No eyes?

One 8" cigar

Got out onto the Grand today. Perfect day weather wise. Nice little chop. OPP out keeping everyone safe and lawful.  Catfish being cooperative. We were dragging harnesses, so I was a little surprised by what was hitting the spinners today.

Lookin gooood

Hey just curious because this is my second dating profile ever on this site😘🥰😍.... curious how long some of us have been on here....???????......my profile now might not show it (lost first one)....but I bet I been a member of this community for almost 20 yrS now...,....what about you guys????(((

A lot of the long timers simply disappeared into the wilderness or the great beyond..

Just got my first one at CD Park yesterday.  When farming it was commonplace for me to find at least one a week until we got a good hot dry spell.  As far as ticks in the residential areas go....   St Kitts is surrounded by woodland and greenbelt, thriving with nature. Ticks simply latch on to any mammal and travel. Coyotes and deer come up from the 12 and roam the neighbourhood and so do the rodents. 

Da Smerch is offline and incommunicata for the next couple of days.  Seems he finally hit the little red button and things went "PooF"

No fishing here. Busy filling orders for Detroit R jigs. Almost done. Will get out for the weekend.

Some nice looking fish.

Glad to see you are getting out and getting some fish.

Do pumpkinseed sunnies taste as good as bluegill?

Essentially yes. All the sunfishes we have tried, bluegill, pumpkinseed, long ear and green have tasted similar. Bigger differences occur with the differences in water bodies.

Yer lookin a little grey there Jack.  Nice to see you are still on the right side of the grass.

Nice picture of you in our paper today chasing those delicacies .   

Sadly we don't get the local rag in our neighbourhood. Post the pic Bill.

Fresh bluegill and crappie

Fish feed looking up. Depending on the weather and water they can be suspended anywheres from 1 ft to just off bottom.  Tuesday they were shallow. I've only been out twice, and yes they have been finicky. Also a lot of small stuff this spring.  Popping a slip float is the best tactic right now.

That's my neck of the woods, river is dirty right now and fishing is tough....If you guys wanna go, wait a few more weeks, around third week of April but fishing will be good until June.  City Marina in Windsor is good for perch right now, but pressure from shore is heavy! Got my limit their two weeks ago.

 

I will let you guys know when the fishing is good, maybe I can meet you in Windsor or even drive up with you.  I got tons of places we can stay the night for free but we have to take one of the local guides fishing with us lol....Bait, Boat Launch and accommodations are free....I drive up there every two months to visit my parents and leave the kids with them!

 

 

That sounds like an invitation.

I learnt, a few years back, that internet communities are a fickle thing. People come and go, move on, etc.   Also when someone we know is ill, or passes on, they just disappear from view, unless their family shared contacts, hobbies, or interests.  We just may not get to know, because we were only "casual" contacts.  It's sad to learn, long after the fact, that someone has died with nary a word. A lot of people no longer post obits online or in the papers. Some have families who just did not care about their deceased relative, or the life they lived. They came to take care of the legalities and collect their inheritance. Nothing more.     Sounds like a rather cold world out there.

Was good to see so many friendly faces. I regret not having the time to stop and talk with many who came out. I was just swamped.

It's gonna be a great show. I'll be there, and so will George.

Life just keeps getting in the way this ice season.

Bruce.....if you are feeling up to it we can meet up at Rennie or some place with a short easy walk to the ice .... I have minnows , little 1" er's & some 2.5" ers .for the pike . 

It is REALLY blowing out there today and 65*F.  !  That will damage the ice at some spots , but local ice was 12" yesterday ....more cold temps on the way , ice should be stable for another week or so .....(hopefully)

 I hope you are doing better with the back & arthritis during this warm spell . 

 

...oops www  gone for 20 min....back again  (wind) ...

Next couple of days I'm tied up. Judy has surgery tomorrow on her knee, again.

The army of grandkids is out on the prairies.  George does help her Grampa.

  Hope the warmer weather and sunshine brings you some relief Bruce . I thought I had arthritis for a while until I quit my statin meds .....feeling much better and sleeping well now.  Always worth checking out the meds for side effects.  Get that checked out Bruce !

Regrettably, the arthritis has been getting worse the past 2 years. Lots of wear and tear in the hips, pelvis, let alone all the lower back damage.  I knew it was coming, no surprises. Just have a brain that still thinks I'm 20.

Glad I didn't get any chance to be on the ice.  Arthritis has been really bad this winter. I imagine springs going to be worse. Got out for a couple of hours to do some farm chores and had 2 solid falls in one afternoon. Not a good sign.

Big carrots make good soup.

They also make good horse feed and fishing poles.
