AKA calico bass and a few other regional names.
Fun to catch and pretty good eating fish.

Getting ready to spawn? I don’t have much experience with crappies. Yes. A minnow on a hook under a cork and you got dinner. Great eating.

Hate how this phone texts.
Trimmed up some trees w dad yesterday and then we mowed up a bunch of leaves in his yard. Grilled chick w green beans.
Today over a buddy house to change blades on his zero turn and see about adding a spring gate assist for his trailer. Guy went in for outpatient surgery and come out 3 months later. Lost 66% of his accounts and we’re trying to help him stay afloat. Gonna need to jury rig that lift assist thing. Also drained his 17cc, the plug got left in and hull filled up. Key west brand.,… im worried about the foam.
Then come home trim up bougienvillia and grind em up w mower, then mow lawn. Eyeballing 4 burger patties and grill.

I’ve been feeding them corn. Stocked lake so I figured they were fed corn in the beginning. Must be so. They love it. Been noticing a few largemouth in amongst them today.

That’s probably the secret trick to get enough specs for the trip to be worth it. Corn!

Pulled a burn permit for a section of our sand hill. Went quite well.......low humidity and not much wind so safe and also burned well. It's a area with a good number of Gopher Tortrices so once it was blacked in wandered about in it checking burrows to see what might be hiding in them. Only confirmed was a rabbit......but there were tracks in the sand around a few so sure there were other things holed up in them.
Louann suggested that we move a couple of cameras up there at the entrance to burrows......did that. And then, as we were basically parched, we grabbed a couple of "lite" adult beverages and went to collect a few traps we'd set for yesterday's farm tour.
And here in a few minutes......putting the final touches on a prescription for a small burn that we'll have a go at tomorrow.

Getting ready to spawn? I don’t have much experience with crappies. If they were that thick I would throw the net on them. Saves time.

My net is 1000 miles away. I’m hoping my grandchildren will show up and catch a few. I won’t disturb them unnecessarily. I hope they spawn well and add to the fish population in our little lakes.

It was that kind of day. Woke up and Ruthie was not in the bed. Her car was there finally found her in the guest bedroom all huddled up. She was throwing up and having the runs. Got her some meds and ran to Publix for some Gatorade. Obviously church was out, but we had all this food we had kinda prepared for lunch. So I made the wings and pizza, and took some to Mom and the daughter while Ruth sat on the couch. Sat on the couch watching the Masters and praying this is not a return of the cancer she had a couple of years ago. The symptoms are the similar and she has the sideache again. Gonna think positive.

Hang in there madman. Sorry to hear your wife is experiencing those symptoms. Hope it’s just a bug and she’s better today.

Fired up the tractor, ran up to the sand hill a little ways south of where we burned yesterday and disked & raked about 3/4 mile of fire break once it dried out a bit this morning. Louann picked me up in the truck when she dropped off drip torches, fuel and the like so we could go get the 4-wheelers that have spray tanks to address the burn.
Lit it off at about 11:00.....not a big piece.....and the National Weather Service nailed the wind shift in their Fire Weather Forecast so things went darn well.
Once the burn was over....about 3:00.....climbed into the tractor and spend a while shuttling dirt down to a few low spots in one of the roads.
Finished up by mixing some drip torch fuel foe next week......
