Finally the ground is clear of snow and ice. I grilled steaks and baked potatoes for dinner last night. Got in bed early, 10:30. Got up at 8 today. Went for my 2nd vaccine shot. Got there at 8:50 and back home at 10:30. Sitting here to see how I feel before heading to get my auction stuff. 12:25 and feel good. Debbie needs a couple of things from the store along the way.

Hope it goes well with your shot. Just like with covid it's hit or miss if there is going to be symptoms. My sister got sniffles, her husband who's a Dr just sore arm, my father in shot #1 so far nothing, I'm curious how #2 will go. I hope for you it's just another shot and your vaccinated.

It was too windy for me to drift fish without using a drift sock, which I don't like to do. So I went looking for some laydowns along the shore line and found two to my liking. The first one was ideal, but I didn't get a bite in little after an hour. So I moved to the next one, which turned out to my liking. I had a double on the blues and another one didn't connect with the hook. Fished from 12:50 to 3 PM. Here is a video of the double.

Here is another my confessions of failure. Yesterday air temps in the low 60s today got up to 73 and didn't freeze over night. Snow almost all gone...so I thought...fishing! I got some bait out of the freezer and bought some night crawlers and headed for a spot known for cats.
Two creeks come together and form a leg of Table Rock Lake. This creates a big hole of water around 1/4 mile across.
On the drive up we crossed both of these creeks and they were flowing beautifully.

Okay so we arrive at the destination and I kid you not, it is frozen over from shore to shore, at least two inches thick. I walked up and down the shore looking for a clear spot I could fish in and finally found a spot about 30' across under a bridge. Well I wasn't driving 2 hours to turn around without wetting a line, so I proceeded to drown a poor night crawler without a nibble for the next hour. Wow, what a bust!

Sweet Wife didn't help a lot when she said on the way home, "It was worth it to see the look on your face when you saw all that ice!"

Sometimes she can be mean, IJS!

Lol. At least you went fishing. Imop even a bad day fishing is better than no day fishing. While you where drowning that worm I was at work wishing I was drowning a worm, you had a much better day than I did.

Here are a few shots the Bride took to memorialize my pain.

This time of year we are looking for the holes in ice like that. Smelt, treble hook, steel leader, bobber. Northern pike at edges of that hole. They looking for winter kill to feed on. But then the rest of lake is ussually thawing from past three months. In your case dead minnows may have been a good choise.

53 today. Tshirt weather. Driveway is made for 4wd testing. MUD!!!

How the leg doing?

Maybe another two weeks or so may be able to get thru my theft deterent and prep boat for spring. Theft deterent is a foot of snow or so in yard going to shed. About 100 feet to get thru. Gotta time it right so dont leave deep ruts in back yard.

Often wonder what happens when you got a fish on one line, it gets tangled in another line, then that line gets hit also.

Later

I looked at the covid numbers for the world, US and a couple of states yesterday. Number of new cases dropping like a rock worldwide. Hopefully that will continue

We had a blood drive at work. They asked that anyone who had been infected give plasma. They tested everyone for antibodies. One of my co-workers tested positive for the antibodies. Never new he had it.

Neil,
I know it sucks to drive that far and get skunked. But i tend to agree with todd.

I was busting wood yesterday and came across this. At first i thought it was a wire or something. It appears to be wood.

I wanted to give my old fishing shoes a proper burial today, but I don't have any thing to burn at the burn pit. As some of you know, one of the ways to properly dispose of the American Flag is to burn it, showing proper respect. Second best for my fishing shoes was to wrap them up in newspapers and put in with the garbage and take it to the public dump. I sorta hate I never did give it a fair chance after making repairs to it, but like Keef wrote, I would probably busted my can or cracked my head if I did.

How does seventy degrees sound, well dats our projected high for today.

 

[lee]

thank you cheap and todd...i could sure use it...doing p.c.h. SCATS...

Mac , SHOES! I'm proud of you!!

 

[Mac-b]

Several centuries ago city and small town folks will put a ring around a tree suitable for them to tie a rope to or a chain for their goat and or other livestock. Dats is why sawmills would only buy logs from timber growth areas, Buying logs from towns, etc. was a no no, because it would ruin a saw.

Watching the record high for the date last few days has been in the early 1900's, like to day, 73 in 1930, had to be global warming??
