You are probably right.

Quillback, I am of course wrong, but looks like downstream of ER and upstream of Big M. Way out on flat gravel points.

This is for the more mature on this board. Have you ever considered the similarity between a chatter bait and the old Hawaiian Wiggler?

Sunday red sauce pasta.

Not Friday, but pizza anyway.

Got started late this year. Peas are in and about 4 inches tall. Plants are hardening and will go in the ground in the next few days. This year I went with a mini cherry plant, Veranda, for the same reasons as Ness. I have Early Girls and a few other determinate plants ready to go in fresh potting soil in my pots. Between bugs, birds, and squirrels the later season just never works for me. When the peas are done, in go the cukes. This year every pot gets a marigold. Fake owls and spinners will go up too. We will see.

Made a little puttanesca tonight. Before I added the diced tomatoes, I drained them thoroughly. The juice was thin, but way more tasty than ordinary tomato juice. The pasta suited me.

1 o'clock. Those are not pomme frite.Could we be looking at au jus and tots?

Yes, it was. One of those things that happen, and no one believes you when you tell the story.

I have a trip scheduled next month with @pstone. I have a feeling we will spend some time with this combo.

In the last week: Chicken Picatta, chicken broth rice, roasted cauliflower. Roasted spiced shrimp, sauteed bok choy and snow peas, basic rice pilaf.

Before it gets too hot, set up a C rig with a No. 6 hook. Nose hook half a crawler drag at .5 mph over sandy and pea gravel areas near drop offs and points. Start at 10 feet deep and move out in 5 foot increments. The link is to a 2011 post I made on the technique.

After the spawn, they scatter and any pattern is difficult. Sometime in April, they settle into a steady behavior based on daylight, water temp, and structure. That is when the trolled crank and BB can help you, Until late May/ early June I never could find a definitive which is better than another, but that is the time when I caught the most on Neds by accident. Tell us all what you find.

Pretty water, isn't it? I lived about about 7 miles downstream of the 62 bridge for 17 years. The river begins to become the lake just downstream from the 62 bridge. The house was on the bluff adjoining the Holiday Island Marina. If I walked across the road and looked down the bluff, I could see the boat in the marina. Health required a move back to Tulsa, and now I only fish 2 or 3 times a year with guides. Regrettably, they focus on sections of the lake many miles downstream.

We buy whole bean at a local importer and use the pour over method for single servings. Metal kettle, undyed paper filter, ceramic mugs. Google how to make coffee and be prepared for a deep rabbit hole.

The wife and I have a duplex in a retirement to grave continuing care community. I am the chairman of the culinary committee. I have determined that no single kitchen can satisfy everyone. Marge wants her green beans steamed and with some bite left. Harriet wants them stewed with onion and pepper until they droop over a fork. Marybelle wants them pan roasted with a little char. Having said that, the primary and ongoing problem for most senior communities is consistency. That stems from labor market factors. The line cooks and chefs at such places work there because they cannot find their perfect job in the hospitality trade or they are new and using the job as a stepping stone or they have a little "partying" problem or, or, or. The constant turnover makes it difficult for the exec chef (even if he or she truly cares) turn out consistent product. Meat temp is where it shows up first.

Tuna with pineapple salsa.

When you remodel, I strongly suggest an induction cook top. Cooks like gas with immediate response to the dial, yet the cook surface remains only warm when you turn it off..

I have been fixing many of the old favorites about which I have posted in the past. As a reminder, I offer from this week, stir fry on rice and short ribs. I guess I should repeat more often. After 11 years, the new members need to see these things without scrolling through 14,000 posts.

I am like you. In 17 years living on the lake, I only caught 2 bass over 6. One was off the flat at Stubblefield Branch on a Top Dollar, somewhere around 2015. The other was my second largest ever. The Rapala spring scale (before digitals became common) said 8+. That one was in 2003 and came from the trees on the bluff side of where the Kings River enters the lake.

When I was a young man (long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away) my wife and I went to Broken Bow lake for Spring breaks. We stayed in the park cabins originally built by the CCC. The other night she suggested we go down there again. As you may remember, I sold the boat about 5 years ago and use guides now days when I go fishing. Does anyone here know a good guide for that lake? If so, share their name, please. Thanks.

^^^ What a shame. 😄

After you cross the river headed to Eureka Springs, take the first right, take the next right on CR 107, at the fork in the road take the right branch, and it will end about 100 feet from the river. The land between the river and the road may be private so ask at Riverview Resort and Country Store, which is just past the road I told you about. Good people at that store. I have always been on that stretch in a kayak, but I remember seeing it. BTW, the stretch just downstream of the bridge is where my buddy and I caught a 7 pound brown.
