So it is notarized, the important thing is the contents of the lease.

Every aspect of the situation is based on the lease agreement. If you have nothing in writing then you have nothing. It appears that you need a good attorney.

Good fish. I’ve never had one.

With the recent rains I’m betting the water is going to have that James River “tint” for a ways. Anyone been down to where it clears some, Rail Hollow, Buttermilk, Hide Away?

When I had a large garden my compost bin was 8x8 landscape timbers alternating so air could get in. I put everything except corn stalks in it. Like Glenn I never turned it. Once a year I dug down to the composted material and spread it on the garden.

Most around here have exhaust fans at the end of the building. If you go with ceiling fans, you want to be sure to get ones designed for outdoor use or the blades will draw moisture and droop.

Diatomaceous earth is what I use for ants. It may work for ticks.

Jeff joined me this morning. It looked like it was going to be a good one. Bass were hitting buzz and spinner baits. But that soon ended. We made it up to Carr’s and only had about a dozen with maybe two or three keepers. I was sure that I had gone the wrong way so I fired up and headed to Piney. We only got one more down there before we gave up.

My neighbor and I launched at 08:30 and tried around some points. We had fish swirl at, splash behind and follow baits right to the boat. There was a stiff East wind and a blue bird sky. I moved to the West side and fished windy banks. We caught 23 bass and 1 crappie. They were all on plastic (Elaztech baits and Keitech baits. We had 9 keeper bass and 1 keeper crappie. The fish liked rocks today. ZinkerZ was best.

Good for you Jeff. I figured you were out there somewhere. I’m wishin I were fishin instead of working in the yard and garden.

I bet everyone who had a boat and the day off was on the lake today. Me I planted garden. Good goin there Cheese.

We found prespawn smallmouth on Beaver yesterday with low 60s water temps. I had one spot that was egg laden. I’m not sure what is going on.

It’s been a while since I’ve run it but I’m guessing 10-12 miles. Personally I would haul it around to Campbell Point so I wouldn’t have to worry about beaching it.

It was for sure cool this morning but still a great time. I got to meet another forum member today. Thanks for the trip Jeff.

With today’s good equipment I think we feel stuff that used to go unnoticed.

We filled 3 freezers with our beef. Maybe she has a roadside meat market.

Can you see that from your house?

Wow that’s a bucket full.

Jeff fished with me today. We went to lots of places (Woolly, Carney, Buzzard, Piney, School House) just to name a few. We even hit some main lake banks and points. There really was no rhyme or reason as to where the fish were located. Most of the fish came pretty shallow and in the morning. Early on I had a 4# green fish on a homemade chartreuse swim bait. We threw top waters, wake baits, and shaky. The bait of the day was the little guy Mr. Ned. We wound up with 30 bass with only 4 keepers.

Nope 1/4 the price of a tank of fuel but still a lot of green backs.

Wow at $60 a pop I would be too nervous to throw one.

On my Champion they were glassed in. When replaced it was done at a glass shop because they had to be ground out and replacements glassed back in and recarpeted.

I will keep my eyes open for that boat. If you see mine swing by.

We may have passed each other. I don’t pay attention to other boats much. Here is what my boat looks like. If you notice me drop by and we can share information.

My neighbor and I started at 09:00 and worked our way up to Carrs. Most of the places I wanted to fish had a boat on them. The water was down right muddy. There were several snagging rigs out. We scrounged up 9 with 4 keepers in 3 hours. Most on a bleeding shad spinner bait. I ran below Cape and we fished to Piney. In 3 more hours we caught 22 bass with 4 more keepers. Most of our fish were largemouth. We maybe caught 10 spots one of which was a good egg laden 16” female. Several of the largemouth were females with bellies that showed eggs. We never saw a fish with worn tail fins. Three of our largemouths were between 3 1/2 to 4# and showed bellies. Shaky was the best bait and several colors worked. None of the fish were deeper than four feet. The surface temp was 62 to 63°.
