    I'm saddened by the thought of no more BilletHead and Mrs adventures. But grateful for the ones you all took us on.

    How are you? Glad to see you still peeking in.

    He was referring to the Indian as the human drawing the bow. It's the bow, not the operator.

    He lives in my town, but I don't know him. Them bighead and silvers have really taken over my local ditch, and I'm not happy about it. I bought a bow fishing rig, but haven't been able to get out to use it properly.

    Here is what I'm converting to be my micro fishing kit. Not in the European use of the word kit, but an actual all in one type of bundle. Soda can for size reference. It all fits into a belt pack, and can be easily transported into the woods, to find the small waters that hold smaller fish, that nobody ever fished. The extending net handle stays in the tackle box above the micro rod. See the rod? Its in the black velvet ink pen case.. I can comfortably and easily touch the ground with my net. It should be able to scoop the lunkers out with ease. here you see my micro rod. It is a Frankenstein of Tenkara rods that have been cut down. The length extended is about 4 feet. I hope to put this kit to use over the weekend and report back.

    That's almost exactly what I did. I will try to remember to take a picture this evening of my setup When you catch some of these, they wiggle ad shake so violently, they get off before you can grab them. They drop in tbe water and you weren't able to positively identify them. A net would be a bit of insurance.

    Although these lunkers are micro, the aquarium nets that I've seen are still pretty small. You stil have to reach out to the end of your rod and lime to scoop them. The length of handle makes a difference as well as the opening of the net. The ultra fine mesh makes it hard to swipe the water also. I'll post pictures of my adapted net.

    When the kids are smiling, the day was good.

    Did the corned beef and cabbage thing. I was actually pretty impressed, it came out very tender. I don't believe I have any Irish descendents, so added a German flair of a Bavarian pretzel. Somewhere along the line I have German history. Or so I'm told. All I know, is I'm St Louisan. Side note. Did you know, you dont have ro wait until 50 to join AARP? We saved a good amount on an upcoming cruise and on airline tickets.

    For anyone interested. I seen a post on Facebook where someone used a tennis racket to make a fishing net. It looked great. I also have had many times the micros fell back into the water while fumbling with them. I am working to create a net for micros with a badminton racket. I do have a homeade job that extends like an old car antenna. Haven't put it to trials yet.

    I only have only fished 5, caught in 4. I do not wish to visit all of the states, so I'll never catch in all. I do want to catch some Colorado trout, and California bluegill. I plan to arrange a saltwater trip this year, but, Cody and the boys have been keeping me busy on MO and AR trout.

    Tying onto the tanago hooks is pretty difficult due to the pre attached leader. I've tried many times and often break the hook. Here is a link to a photo tank that includes a measurement to keep track of your lunkers. @Ham and or @Johnsfolly may be able to help with identifying your catches that you are having uncertainties about. Welcome to the fun.
  16. Daryk Campbell Sr
    Wow, that takes alot of trust and fearlessness. I don't nearly enough of either one.

    We had an all out excellent time. From smoked pork steaks, Korean quesadillas, duck Philly cheese steak sandwiches, zuppa tuscana soup, GUMBO!!, cheesy baked mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, fried crappie, fried shrimp, and lots I'm forgetting. Tied some flies, rode in boats, caught fish, told stories and jokes. Oh, and a flotilla. Yup, it was a blast.
  18. Daryk Campbell Sr
    Sounds like a great idea. And thanks for the compliment/acknowledgement. I feel pretty special getting tips from PeppeRonnie. LOL. Honestly, I was kinda curious on your thoughts.

    How many sections does that 30 foot rod have?

    Homeade Pizza tonight. The bacon is not burnt, just could not get good lighting. These slid right out of the cast iron. Really good pizzas over all. I.greased upmthe skillets with butter, covered it with fish fry, I was out of corn meal. Pillsbury pizza dough dry packs, marinara sauce, topped with cooked sausage, pepperoni, cheese, black olives and partially pre cooked bacon. Baked at The cutter was a great investment, Walmart special.

    There was a radio controlled car/toy called Typhoon II when I was a kid. I wanted that thing so bad. It was a much smaller version of this. I found the commercial. Recently I seen a YouTube video where a group of guys bought one and were putting it through its paces, it seemed to not be nearly as cool as I would have expected.
  22. Daryk Campbell Sr
    My kids are getting to a place where I can get more time away, and hopefully I get my canoe done by spring. That will open a but of opportunity for me to get out more than years past. I am also no longer needing to work 2 jobs, that takes a lot of time from hobbies. As Snagged mentioned, the waters near me are so low, I'm not sure how well I'll be able to paddle. We will see.

    The banks there are intimidating.
  24. Daryk Campbell Sr
    It was. I also appreciate the camera work. No flashing lights, or distractions. Just pure music, and soul. Love it. https://youtu.be/NCrWp1kPHtw?si=MknBlWehlsg_Qoc-

    Too much history and I will be napping. 😆
