FALL IS COMING

FISHING LAST WEEKEND WAS A TASTE OF FALL.  LEAVES ON THE CREEK AND I HAD TO WEAR A LONG SLEEVE T.   SAW THE SMALLEST PICKER I HAVE EVER SEEN AS I SPOTTED IT BY A BRANCH.  UNMISTAKABLE NOSE ON IT AND COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE THAN 6 OR 7 INCHES.
TONS OF KINGFISHERS AS THE CREEK IS REALLY LOW BUT THE 3 INCHES OF RAIN WE GOT THIS WEEK SHOULD REALLY HELP.

VACATION FISHING

GUNNA SUM UP MY FISHING TRIPS THIS WEEK ALL IN ONE POST.  WAS ON VACATION THIS WEEK AND I GOT OUT THURSDAY AND CAUGHT QUITE A FEW WITH ONE BEING A 16 INCH PICKERAL AND A 13 INCH SMALLY.   BUT SUNDAY WAS ONE OF THE BEST DAYS I EVER HAD IN BUFFALO CREEK IF YOU INCLUDE THE WILDLIFE.  I CAUGHT 22 WITH ONE A MONSTER CHUB AND A ROCK BASS THAT WAS 9 INCHES.
THE ROCK BASS I THOUGHT AT FIRST HAD TO BE A SMALLY BUT AS I TOOK IT OUT OF THE WATER THE DISTICTIVE  COLORS AND RED EYE...A REAL BEAUTY.
BUT THE WILDLIFE WAS SOMETHING ELSE AND MADE THE DAY REALLY GREAT.  AS I WADED DOWN THE CREEK I SAW THE BALD EAGLE AGAIN.  THEN 5 DEER WITH ONE BEING A BUCK...2 DOE AND 2 FAWNS.  WATCHED THEM FOR ABOUT 15 - 20 MINUTES AND THEN I HEARD A NOISE IN THE WATER BEHIND ME...THERE WERE 2 BUCK AND THE ONE WAS A REAL MONSTER.  I DIDN'T BOTHER REACHING FOR MY CAMERA THAT WAS IN MY POCKET CAUSE I KNEW THAT WOULD SPOOK THEM.  SO I JUST STOOD AND WATCHED THEM ALL TILL THEY DECIDED THEY WERE DONE WATERING AND THEN MOSIED ON THEIR WAY.  JUST A REALLY SPECIAL DAY IN MAZEPPA     : )
