I Don’t know why I am sharing these pictures of nasty bugs. I am not even sure why i took these pictures but I did so here they are. I know the first one is a wasp I think the second one is some sort of beetle but it really doesn’t matter i am just sharing.

This was a pretty fun day. Well even if it wasn’t I can pretend anyway. Well as you can see in the pictures above My mom is wearing camo. Not sure what got into her to make her want to but it created some smiles.

When Grandma offered me the trolling motor she also gave me some of Grandpa’s hunting stuff. When mom saw it all she was pretty excited she liked the light stuff and she put it on. She wanted to send these pictures to some people she wanted to be sure to get her ladybug coffee cup in the picture.

Then we sent the pictures out and waited for replies.

Doug has gone fishing with me a couple times now. I think he is starting to enjoy fishing.There are some pictures I wanted to post of the first time Doug and i went out in the boat but they seem to have been lost.

I don’t think most people understand what it really means to go fishing its something that needs to be learned. Fishing is kind of an acquired taste but once someone tastes it they cant get enough.

I am preparing the boat to go out again. Doug decided he was willing to go out in the boat with me after he finished with his eBay stuff. So These pictures are of me taking the boat to get gas and bait so that as soon as he finished we could head out.

We had a good time once we got out and the boat ran great. it did get dark pretty quick and my camera didn’t take good pix in the dark.

I asked doug to send me the pix he took while we were out. After he sends them to me i will get them published for all of you loyal viewers to view.

Jason and I were able to do a little boating and fishing this morning. We started out around 10:00 AM trying to decide if the boat motor would run. I decided to dry pull it and make sure it wasn’t screwed up and it fired off first pull. So we loaded the boat up and connected it to my truck put it in the water and all went great.

We headed upstream so that if the motor decided not to work we could use the current to get us close to the boat launch. I really didn’t want to paddle it back AGAIN ! ! !

We decided to stop at a spot where the surface water was smooth and glass like. Then we dropped anchor and tried to decide what bait to use. I set up my first pole with chicken liver and cast it out. Then I cast for a few mins with a twister but with the current as strong as it was casting was not working well. So I baited that pole up with a worm.

It didn’t take long and both Jason and I had bites. I caught the first fish a good sized catfish you can see it in the first picture kinda. Jason is as good at taking pictures as he is at catching fish. So the pix didn’t turn out the best. hehe.

Then after I knew the liver worked I wanted to try some stinky shrimp that has been sealed up and sitting in the garage for about a week or longer. Wow, was that shrimp rank ! ! ! We both did have bites on the shrimp but i think it was the smaller cats just nibbling or something like that maybe they couldn’t fit their mouths over the shrimp.

When we used worms it seams that the sheep head gobble them up so i prefer to not use worms at all.

After fishing that spot for a couple hours we decided we wanted to try a spot in calmer water near what we call the PIT. On the way to the PIT we headed under the train bridge and we both knew it was shallow but didn’t realize how shallow in some places it was. I was driving and the boat was at a slow almost idol and it jerked up. I knew right away i had hit a rock or the bottom or something so as quick as I could think I tilted the motor up so it was just barley in the water.

Well that didn’t do the trick the damage was already done. We had sheered the sheer pin. Jason has delt with changing the pin in the water multiple times but it was my first time to replace one without dry land under my feet.

We accomplished it ! ! It wasn’t as difficult as it could have been but it still wasn’t all that easy either. So after all that we decided to head back to the boat launch and take the boat out for the day. I think we will try to go again very soon.

There aren’t any kitty cat pictures on here so i wanted to post some. This cat sure has a lot of character.  His name is Wheety but Michelle calls him Beeta and Brandon calls him something like Deba. These pictures really don’t show the true size of this cat maybe I will snap another pix of him with something to reference his huge size.

Just another Stinky SheepHead. So many of these I dont know what to write about them. Guess i will have to try and remember more details when i catch them. Either that or just stop taking pictures of them. I think i need to research a bait that sheep head dont like and other fish do.

I am also posting this out of the normal format to show some examples of how simple it is to modify and customize posts.

Wednesday Michelle and I took Brandon to the park. I think the pictures tell most everything even without much of a description.

So many of these i don’t know if i am going to post all the pictures of them. Kinda annoying couldn’t help but catch them. They just kept biting.
