my cousin hadn’t been fishing yet this year. he is a transplant survivor and has been staying safe at home, doctors orders. but we went out on the big lake for some fishing last evening. good times and thank God for bridges. ?

 

Having a heck of a time finding anything over 3.5, but a dozen like this makes waking up early worth it.

Our big, old rescue cat found a good use for an empty box the other day. Been sleeping in it near constantly for two days now. We don’t know exactly how old he is, figure he’s at least 10 years old, if he ends up snuffing it while napping in there, I figure I could just tape up the top and he’d be ready for his final nap.

No such luck here. We'll be playing our annual game of "Gunshots or Fireworks"?

Yeah, the same here in so. cali...99.99% of the fireworks are Illegal..Law enforcement says there's not much they can do about it..sigh.

Yea - Not sure if they actually canceled them here or not.

Doesn't really matter though because they (fireworks) are 'legal' here and the regional fireworks store is right up the road from us.

Additionally the gun shot factor has been way up this year as it is.

Either way a couple of our dogs really dislike all of that.

Apparently we had to drive through the land of Oz last night to get to one of our lakes. Actually, while we waited 15 or so minutes for this house to get out of the road, a lady approached us and had said she bought it from the Amish and was moving it down the road to her land. I’ve seen it all now.

WOOD STORK

Not a common, nor particularly attractive bird.

This one was in the same area we've seen storks ~40 yrs prior (NE Lake Toho)

Pretty much an everyday thing around here.

Always surprised to hear the fireworks going off on Wed March 16th or the gunshots everyday

Working from home, I'll hear shots fired at 9 in the morning #goodole'boys #thingsthatgobang #TNlife

And hunting seasons seem like more of a 'recommendation' here than an actual law.

So if it's brown - it's down.

 Oh My.

Didn't catch a single thing this morning, but I did get to take this picture that makes it look like I have a fishing spot in Silent Hill.

Any evidence of shad flipping around on the banks there this morning?

Nosir. About the time I was packing up to head to the office, I saw/heard a couple bass breaking the surface after something, though.

 

In the mornings like that I only have about a half hour, so I don't expect much.

Got up early this morning and headed WAY out into Georgian Bay to try for a salmon. Didn’t get any, but did manage to find a nice rainbow and a few lakers. Sure was a nice calm morning to be out with the kid. There’s nothing quite  like watching the sun come up while your miles offshore.
