Talked to someone today that took a nice buck along the banks of Wappappello. Those few boats are taking advantage of the dry spell and deer attracted to the waters. My creek bottom is where the action is, woods are bone dry.

But, did you catch any fish? I did not see any boats either a few miles north of you on the farm hunting deer..

That was me this weekend, without the deer. Mosquitoes and dove clothes on. Not much moving.

Fishermen lie all the time. My favorite, "Catching any?", standard answer "NO". Move along, nothing to see here. If I would answer yes, they would pile on top of me and not leave me alone....

5 gallon bucket and an aerator, that is pretty simple. Usually just keep the bait in there. I have a cooler that came from Academy with the aerator holes in it for around $40 bucks. Fits in the back cutout of the little 10' boat. https://www.academy.com/p/magellan-outdoors-13-qt-dry-box?sku=gray

My river Yak is a stick steer 16' boat with a trolling motor and a 25 jet. Unless I just want to be lazy and float down a stream, then I take the 10' yak. My jet boat cost less than most of those yak setups. Did I ever mention there should be a law against Tournament Fishing? Takes the fun out a nice peaceful sport.

Looks pretty low, Row alot?

Blew thru this morning here, took a break in the wind at 8 and walked out the farm. Nice to have a cold spell to give me a break from the ticks and snakes. Nothing stirring this morning. Last nite wind took leaves down and woods opened up. Around 10 am the clouds broke and wind picked up again with some more bite. But the sun made it tolerable. Deer popped out and started feeding in the fields. They know its the first cold one of the year. Just dropped to 32 now at 8 pm.

My wing nuts always come with the little rubber protectors that trap air, and they are made out of light weight pot metal. They will float. But my hands are weak and a wrench and a hex nut works better.

More tomatoes than I got out of the farm garden with 30 plants. Deer eat well.

AGM stands for a fiberglass mat that stands up to more vibration stress than lead plates. They still output the same voltage, but have different chargers and charge ratios. But, I will let the Fishinwrench chime in. They may affect boat electronics differently based on engine designs..

I am still waiting to harvest the garden at the farm. The field behind the house has deer turds so thick you can't walk without steppin in them. I still have zinnias and marigolds.

10 years ago today, I was diagnosed with the cancer. One little hiccup this year in Sept, new sore popped up behind the graft on tongue. CT and biopsy was all clear, no cancer cells. Happy Halloween!

I saw the Cardinals flop around on the field all year like a dying carp. Not so great performance..

I have not seen one of those. Worse than spiders, have a red devil head and orange legs. Must have crawled out of hell
