Fish24/7

When you get all settled in and ready to fish contact me on here and I can give you some tips and tricks. I moved to Bull back in 2000 and have been fishing there since I was a toddler.

Monday I'm planting Simpson lettuce and spinach but have to see what kind of spinach seed the store has . Got a salad mix seed pack will try it also but it has chard in it and I'm not excited about it. Haven't found a chard I like so far. Weather permitting of course. Seems the forecast here changes every 8 hours

That happened to me before. Wet boxes, rusty hooks. I have a jon boat with no storage compartments so if it rains while I'm fishing my tackle bag gets wet, but my lures stay bone dry inside now. I use Plano waterproof stowaway boxes and I put those little silica packets in them for added protection. I know what you mean how expensive it can be . I won't open the boxes when it's raining. If it is I take out a few baits I want to try before I launch, put em in a ziplock bag , and have them handy to tie on. Or if it looks like rain is coming I'll do the same thing before it starts. Same with terminal tackle and soft baits. In a quick search $7.99 is the lowest price I could find those G finesse hooks at Fish USA

I'm fasting . this is the wrong place to be hanging out right now. 😄Dang u guys can cook!

White Binks Jigging spoons. 1/2 , 3/4 and 1oz . The many shad color is really good. Bait in the area will also help get you more bites. I'd start looking in 30ft and go deeper from there. Deep trees,brush piles, points, flats. If I can't catch them there I give up pretty easily. I don't troll so spoons are my go to. Im not doing as much walleye fishing as I did a few years ago,but I'm pretty sure that stuff still works today. There's SO many black bass in the lake now I just chase them most of the time. If you've never been there before you are in for a real treat! Bull is something special😉

Too bad Walleye Bob retired from guiding this year 😞 He had a good run though 2002 to 2019

For me depends on the thickness of the plastic. The thicker bulky finesse baits I texspose. Like tubes for ex.

I've had some local authorities get an posterior chewing from me this year. Job is to protect and serve. Not to tell me to handle the problem myself because they were scared of being sued. When the sheriff won't even call you back after leaving 3 messages wth. Piss poor policing.

Man whites are just pigs when they eat. I've been in a boat surrounded by acres of surfacing whites. So thick they were running into the boat and you didn't even have to cast to catch one. Just drop a purple swimming minnow over the side and lift one in. Anyway, they eat, eat more, until completely stuffed and then puke, then go right back to eating again.Im guessing some of the shad were probably in their stomachs less than 5 minutes before they were thrown up and then another white would eat the others barf. Lol. I watched this go on for a half hour. No wonder they crap all over the place.

Same here, 3 cocktail mater bushes about 5ft tall and 5ft wide. One would have been enough. Yep, picking lots of green tomatoes now. Especially the Parks brothers kind. The longer they stay on the vine the worse they look. Direct full sun for about 12 hours every day is cooking them. Evidently they don't like temps over 92 either. Anything close to being ripe was blossom end rot ,splitting, cracking. We haven't had a lot of rain recently,and I work hard to prevent things but what else to do besides let nature run its course. First time growing Parks brothers. They are great producers though! One of the plants has 45 green tomatoes on it and so far no cracking or splitting . The most so far this year for a single plant. Baseball ,tennis ball sized. Lately just lucky to get enough ripe ones for my family to eat. worried about my Belgium now. I have 8 of them. They are very tall and if they get any bigger they will just have to flop over I guess. Every plant has at least 15 to 20 fist size or bigger green ones that will be turning soon. They aren't split or cracked,and look amazing. Just afraid the weather is gonna wreak havoc on them right when they are ripening. I depend on my mater crop as a supplemental income. Have sold over 600 this year already and this next run is gonna be a critical harvest for me since the ripening Parks brothers tomatoes look like crap right now and I would be embarrassed to even sell one. Fingers crossed Ended up with 5 small sugar baby watermelons. I mean small , a little bigger than a softball but the best tasting watermelons I've had in a long time. Plenty of seeds but the taste more than made up for that. Saved some seed for next year. The next round of melons should be done in early September maybe.

ness my waistline agrees with your reply 😀 Mmmmmm chocolate! Nice ! tall glass of milk and a piece of that Guess who just had another bologna bacon and 🍅 sandwich tonight ? Had French toast for breakfast. Couldn't remember the last time I had that,

Oh yes there was a tub of that in the freezer

Baked a pumpkin pie today. Easiest recipe ever too. Buy it at the store. Pre heat oven. Remove pie from box and place in oven. Bake until done. Eat half of it in one night 😄

That's awesome about the veggies and fruit! Blister beetles suck, they decided to show up in the garden this week 😣 💩

Last night was beautiful! I saw some of those meteors too. I was thinking "I bet bo is catching them on the rock right now"

For me it's been a battle from the beginning with these tomatoes. First it was flooding, then disease and extreme heat, that and the bugs and caterpillars, I'm losing fruit to that all the time. Also it's defoliation time again for these plants. Must have good air flow . A modified version of hard pruning is another thing I do to my plants. I apply what I can naturally to help prevent things but it's not always effective... Baking soda foliar spray I hear helps prevent blight Just an update we lost 4 of the 5 zucchini plants to a root bug of some kind. They were in containers filled with cheap sta green potting mix, will never use that again. Read the reviews on it after the fact, not good imo Cantaloupe are done, pretty much just up and croaked on me. Same potting mix as the zucchini 😕 Green bell peppers are now struggling to produce anything of any size. the red ones are doing fine . Both in the ground.

Spent most of my morning grilling vegetables. Salsa time! Did some stuffed peppers again, and a roast chicken recently. Eating a lot of fried bologna bacon and tomato sandwiches Prob do some BBQ smoked ribs next week for a party. Friends everything sounds/looks so delicious! Nicely done

Green beans, jalapenos, and bell peppers now. Not as many big ripe tomatoes lately, but there's hundreds of little green ones again. Still plenty of ripe cocktail maters. Should have some habaneros by end of month... maybe . Planted more corn too.

Thanks everyone, grocery bill was 3x more than avg today. So many meals on here !

Mine was over ripe ,meh on the taste.

They look happy, whatever they are. Lost the plant id tag.

We picked a few more today

Pinks a plenty this weekend in the 3 big boxes, and about 30 more 🍅 not shown

A few cocktail maters. Not sure how much rain is coming so I picked a bunch. Was afraid if we got a lot of rain they would swell up and split open .

Been blessed this year. Wasn't sure if I was even going to have tomatoes,or any crops because of the rains. Planted every little mater plant started from seed on Earth Day, less than a week later the floods came. Had to go out while it was raining and dig little ditches to divert the water away from the garden. Had them planted up high on mounds but they weren't high enough and water was pooling around the stems.
