Mousin

Suddenly had a desire to make a mouse box. even though i dont fish mice but a couple times a year, i only had a couple stragglers in a box so here is a small box i put together

Possibly my last go...

....for the year on the res. its about time to start working some rivers again so this might have been my last time on the res for the year. me and matt started on the west side with minimal success then at about noon moved over to the east side with even less success. we moved a few good fish and i did muster one on a mouse but overall, for a l day, it was not very good.

Vets day

Gerald had the day off as well so we took a drive to the res. temps were supposed to be around 50 and the skies were blue. we both started with some top water shit but we didnt muster anything up top. streamers pulled a few fish for us but it wasnt overly productive. the other day when i was out the fishing was much better when there was no wind and the water was calm. as soon as the wind picked up the fishing turned off for the most part. most of the day on monday was breezing and the water had some chop.

Me and the youngen

My wife had to work so i was on baby sittin duty. off to the lake we went. for a mid november day it was pretty sweet weather. not a cloud in the sky and the water was smooth. the wind did start to pick up at about the last hour we were there. i ended up fishing a cove that i never had before. it had some decent depth to it. i caught a handful of cutts in the 18-19 inch range, lost a couple and moved a bunch others. it wasnt till we were at our stopping point that i told alanna, 3 more casts and we are done. on that 2nd cast i hooked a toad. he ended up being my best fish out of that lake. 26 inches and very girthy. it was a great way to end the day. we were only on the water for about 4 hours so i cant complain on the quantity. streamers all day.
