I have been told before from some generous gifters (see above post) that they don't want those baits to just sit on the shelf and get dusty. Go out and use them!

Pretty spot Jeff! I think that I see a hint of PBJ on its lip !

I have been one of the very fortunate recipient of some @BilletHead specials. They do catch fish even when you throw them with spin gear . Missed out last year catching some fish with his clousers with the fly rod. Thanks buddy you know I will try again this year. Hopefully with Livie catching .

1st ever brook trout - from Mullen Creek Wyoming 2012 - we ate the non-native species .

@Phil Lilley I agree that putting on some heavier fluoro like Ham and Gavin suggested would work better than steel. There are some fish that will shy from those premade steel leaders. If you are fishing lures vs bait you should have less issues even with the toothy guys, since hookups will likely be with the bait near the outside of the mouth. You may lose some marabous if a toothy fish inhales the bait even with a fluoro leader. Good luck and can't wait to see the post .

From our Alaska Trip in 2008 Fly-in trip to Admiralty Island - yes that is a fly rod and yes we fished clousers . Dolly varden (2nd ever) Nice male pink salmon (2nd ever) Sitka Coho salmon (1st ever) on a hootchie rigged herring. Ketchikan family trip Livie's 1st pink salmon Jackie's 1st pink salmon Sean's 1st coho Sue's 1st chinook salmon.

We're still working on getting the salt level correct for our kraft. We were going to grab a larger crock when we passed thru Ohio, but trip COVID Canceled. Sue makes a really good french onion soup.i prefer a rich beef stock. We haven't played with onion varieties. She tends to just use the cheaper yellow onions. I can eat the soup alone but really like t he bread and cheese.

Sounds like something that Pat has to worry about

@FishnDave how did you digitize those old photos?

When I first moved to Columbia I fished Hickson creek pretty regularly. Would catch LMB, spotted bass, smallmouth, bluegill etc. All of these were caught within the city limits. I decided to go further upstream one spring. I was hitting similar holes and catching a few fish. Then I got to a great long hole in terms of cover and water depth. I just knew that I would catch a bunch. Nothing, Nada, Zilch. I only saw one or two tiny bluegill. As I fished towards the upstream end two very healthy otters were swimming around. I can't help but think that they cleaned out the fish that I had suspected would be in this spot. I left soon after seeing them. Figured wouldn't catch much and I didn't trust not being able to see them while I was wading the creek.

I don't use flour in mac and cheese. I start with butter and some sort of shredded cheese, usually cheddar or Colby mix. Melt butter and the cheese. I add milk while stirring to incorporate the cheese. Will keep adding milk until smooth. I often will add other cheese to the mix at that time. Fresh cracked pepper then add the mac.

On my bucket list. Sill have lots of Atlantic fish to catch the next year or two then maybe a west coast trip or two.

I don't spend enough time for the green bass. However, give me fiesty brown bass any day!

Just can't give you a like for a stinkin green bass 🤣! Of course I haven't caught one yet this year🙄.

Only after they have fished those main lake points😅

Very nice Dan. Wrens are some of my favorites. White-breasted nuthatches are great as well. While hunting this year had a wren fly into the blind and sat on my crossbow scolding me then it would fly off 🙂.

Haven't had enough time yet to be this grandparent... but looking forward to getting there 😉

For those of us that are middle children
