I fished Beaver Creek area from the early '70's till mid '90's. Put my boat in a rented stall from mid Feb. til mid April. The whites went from limits to lucky to catch two. Gave up & went to Sac on Stockton - left the boat in the shop. Don't know what happened to them.

Marty - That was too easy. Your skill or luck always is amazing (do you ever buy lotto tickets)?

Time to put out the H.B. feeders (4 cups boiled water & 1 cup sugar).

The lettuce is up. Planted it Feb. 14th. The freezing didn't kill it. Too small for pictures.

Sous vide corned beef. Side of new red potatoes, carrots, onions & cabbage. Thirty hours in the sous vide cooler cooker. then into the oven (325 degrees) uncovered to keep warm while the veggies cooked in the corned beef broth. It tasted like it might work.

Got mine in on Valentine's Day. I mixed last years & new Black Seeded Simpson as usual. Put them in an old pepper shaker & fought the wind & raked them into the soil. Bet they are cold little hummers this morning. If Phil (the groundhog) was right with his weather guess I will enjoy wilted lettuce around Tax Day.

You might try the wire from the survey stakes (like Dig-Rite uses). You can find them in hardware stores or online.

First Aid Kit?

Looks like a bad start to me!

Nixa Harter House has carried them in the past.

Feb. 14th for lettuce - throw the seeds on the snow & let them melt into the soil.

I have used turkey decoys along the shore line - could not determine if it helped or not. It is called a confidence decoy I think, perhaps confidence of the hunter but not the ducks.

BH - Did you give the guide a good tip?

Straw Hat - I just gave you a like - no post.

I love my sous vide for almost everything but steak. It seems to alter the texture some how. When I pop for kc strip I fire up my old Big Green Egg ( 18 years old & still going strong).
