seems like my whole summer has been like that this year.

today, may 15, 2015, all three fish i caught were with my homemade junebug lures.

a junebug refers to the type of inline spinner blade.

caught my 1st fish on a junebug lure that i made myself. i watched him chasing it and basically hook, as some say around here, his own self. i've been throwing them for a couple of weeks, since i started making them myself, and yesterday was the 1st taker.

good stuff

thursday, may 7, i was fishing in a local creek. caught 7 fish, 4 redeye and 3 bluegill, and one hawk. he had flown up the creek earlier during my trip. well, he flew back down later, after i'd cast a hula popper to the other side of the creek. he got tangled but not hooked, as he flew right through my line. after the tangle, he fell into the water so i had to get him up out of there. he fell in on my side of the bank in shallow water. i pulled him up and let him lay on the ground. he laid there on his back with claws up. i sure didn't want any of those SHARP claws and beak. i saw the lure wasn't hooked, but before i could get to it, he decided to hop away. i chased after reeling in slack. he stopped again, this time on his feet and trying to peck at the lure. i got to him and pulled the lure a little and he hopped away again into some weeds. i pulled him out of the weeds and got out my knife. i grabbed the lure with my free hand, and cut the line with my knife hand. he still laid there, so i cut the other part of the line. after that he flew off. glad he was okay, i got my lure back, and neither of us was worse for wear.

i used an inflatable boat back in the 80s. my wife and i got one a couple years back, but it had a slow leak out of the box. it didn't help that she thought it funny that i kept saying the boat was bowing up more and more. she had a high old time laughing at me.
