Well Rev.....My son Matt backed out on fishing with me and since we are getting a cold front I decided on specks instead of hogs. The next full moon is Feb. 13th a Mon. Therefore the 11th I'll be flipping for bass.
So...I'll get my rig ready to pull out by 6:00AM. Last week 1/3 of my specks were caught in the 1st hour. I'll come home around 1:00 PM and possibly change the oil in our 2 cars. My wife will have homemade soup on all day in the crock pot....vegtable.{NO meat must lose 4 more poundsby Tues to stay on schedule.}and that will be about it. Maybe do my lesson plans...and wash my clothes.
Well I was going to go leave today for my lake house, but my daughter Jackie got food poisoning last night, and her husband took her to the doctor at 10:00 P.M. and we had to baby sit... My wife got Sydney (5 yrs old) and I got Malachi ( terrible twos ) we were up till 5:00 A.M. when they came in, so I can't budge Sandra out of bed. I was going to fish days and hog hunt late evening and night.... So this week end,, it's around the house.. I'll go out maybe Wed. Sandra is leaving for Oklahoma next week for a week, so then I will head off to the wilderness... alone...[:@]
I really need to get some practice in before IBOWinter Nationals in March for I can qualify for world inW Va this year, but I am waiting for BowTech to send me my new limbs for my competition bow, they called yesterday and said they should be here Monday.. I have the limbs off of it now. So I've spend a lot of time on the forum..
No meat? No fryed fish?>[&o]I dont fish much in the winter anymore or around here much - all rainbows- some nice ones in spots& at the closest below thedam. Nice to catch but...
I still have some in my frezzer- i like other fish to eat much better then bows but they are further away& harder to catch here.
There was a big cresent moon over the mtns to the south early the other morning.
Tommorrow i dont know or today eitherno laundry tho.

Last week he came out and devoured my bobber...LOL I didn'y say how many of the specks were legal size.And I made sure each fish was legal. I threw back about 10 which were 1/8th to short. I have the size limit notched out in the alumnum of my boat. It must go from dot to dot. I did get a meal out of them and I was doinga little flipping to see if the bass were spawning yet. Don't think so .I saw no beds and only a few young bucks were hitting. We have to write down every fish we catch at this particuliar fish management area.... called a creel sheet. I'd still rather catch those waleyes in Missouri. The fort where Andy is sttioned is nick names Fort Lost in the Woods in MiseryFrom the sounds of it ..it has gotten tougher than when I was in. He still has the flu and his body was covered with hives this week..still no mercy no doctors or medicine. One young lady tried to split her wrist and another girl was air lifted as she was unconscience. Good thing I'm not there....I probably would go off. I went off when I was there. I had a drill sergeant step on my hands while I was in the push up position. I jumped up and punched the dude. Got in trouble too.
