It was a great float and time. I'm full too and we stopped at Casey's on the way home and Pat and I split a pint of ice cream. Since I was driving she had to feed me. 😁. Only four of us fishing and floating. I only landed a green sunfish, one small mouth and four Ozark bass. Missed other fish. Lots of casting practice. I can say I think I got first place for the flyfishing category. That is because I was the only person flyfishing. Pretty section of the James River. Not busy either for a weekend. Two others kayak fishing was all we seen.

Be there or be square. Blast from the past 😁. Pat is making potato salad as we speak!

I had friends that had minnow traps in ponds all over just for this purpose. Wanted greenies!

Ditto!

You do know they can be heated up on Ness's Blackstone. I bet he would do that for you Jeff. Beens and weenies are totally different. Those you can just open the can a bit and throw those in the campfire!

Whoo Hoo! Happy birthday Phil, I think you caught up to me 😁.

I've met Mike and watched him work. Fantastic.

If you would of said squirrelly that would of covered all bases.

Not all of us? I can think of one you already know.

Pat said it's alright to refer to her as Sista.😆

It's good microwaved with a thick slice of sharp cheddar cheese too.

DYI truck camper, Found this gem at the local truck stop. They had stopped to put air in their tires. I stopped and asked questions. Thought I would share someone's dream rig. He told me it was a work in progress. 😁

New flavor!

Pat wants to know what time you non floaters are going to show up at the takeout. She will be there to assist where needed. Also, she will be making jalapeno potato salad. Is there anything lacking she can pick up while she is out goofing off while I am goofing off on the river 😁.

Thanks! Nice of you to share Mr. Pitt

We have seen them swimming across rivers and lakes. More bobbing than swimming. Given more than one a ride, the way there were heading of course.

Pat may be making a batch of sauce 😁 you know just in case we might need it.

Hey Phil since Pat is not floating her Kayak is available if you want. Throwing the offer out there. Very stable.

Happy Birthday Randy! We all appreciate your contributions on the food thread.

Seeds too? This seems to be the question.

Well CRAP Wrench beat me to it. Everything eats those persimmons Fox and coyote included.

I'm still on board! Solo Pat Is not going this time.

We most definitely need to plan better to meet. Quillback has my phone number as I do his. I will PM you my cell @bfishn. Need not be near each other at an event like this and miss meeting each other. Like Jeff said it was crowded and could use more room for moving around. We actually could of been within mere feet of each other with someone between us.

I have noticed that out west there are more than here. I belong to an air gun forum and out west guys get permission to control collared dove and pigeons. Those guys have some great shoots!

Not a problem Daryk. This is how we learn by asking questions. Ignorant is a harsh word IMO. You just don't know. it is a Eurasian collard dove. I think there are two types sold for the pet trade. So they escaped and now are breeding and just like fish, plants, insects considered invasive. Shoot European honeybees are not native. Now the collard dove is all over. They actually like to spend more time around homes and farms, feedlots too. Here in Missouri, we are supposed to include them in our bag limit. In other states you can shoot on site year around. They taste similar to the dove and a slight tougher. Once you hear the call it is easy to separate that sound from a morning dove. Only time will tell if it effects our ecosystem, Eurasian Collared-Dove Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
