MORE PICS PERCY

GOT BACK IN THE CREEK YESTERDAY BUT IT WAS OVER 70 DEGREES...HUMID AND SUNNY SO I KNEW IT WOULDN'T BE THE BEST DAY.  BUT I DID SNAG 12 AND A NICE VARIETY  WITH BLUE GILLS...ROCK BASS...SMALLMOUTHS AND FALL FISH.  ODDLY 2 TRIPS TO THE CREEK NOW AND NO PICKERAL ALTHOUGH I DID HAVE ONE JUMP OFF ON ME.  ADDING SOME PICS I TOOK AND THE FIRST IS THE SKY LOOKING OVER THE CREEK FIELD OF THE FARM I GREW UP ON.  NEXT IS THE SUN FILTERING THROUGH THE TREES ON THE BEND OF THE CREEK AND THE NEXT IS LOOKING AT THE SUN AS I CONTINUED DOWN STREAM.  THEN A GORGEOUS DRAGONFLY.  SO ALL IN ALL PERCY IT WAS STILL A GREAT DAY OF SOLITUDE IN MAZEPPA.  WHEN I HIT THE CREEK ALL YOU COULD HEAR WAS THE WATER TRICKLING.   AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

A MONTH

IT'S BEEN A MONTH PERCY BUT I FINALLY GOT BACK IN THE CREEK.  MADE UP FOR LOST TIME TOO AS I SNAGGED 22 AND ONE WAS THE BIGGEST FALL FISH I EVER CAUGHT.  17 INCHES AND IT WAS A TRUE HAWG AS IT WEIGHED A TON.  WHEN I HOOKED IT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE AS IT WAS JUST DEAD WEIGHT.  ALSO CAUGHT SOME SMALLMOUTHS INCLUDING THE NICE 14 INCHER I AM POSTING.  THE FALL WILDFLOWERS ARE FEW AS THE FLOODING TOOK CARE OF THAT FOR THIS YEAR.   LOTS OF KINGFISHERS TODAY AND SAW 3 DOE AND 2 YEARLINGS.

WHAT A DAY IN MAZEPPA

21 FISH TODAY PERCY AND A FABULOUS MORNING IN MAZEPPA.  GORGEOUS SUNRISE BUT AS THE OLD NAVY VERSE GOES......RED IN THE MORNING SAILORS WARNING , RED AT NIGHT SAILORS DELIGHT.  AND SO IT WAS AS I HAD TO USE THE

RAIN PONCHO TO FISH MY LAST 2 HOLES TODAY.  2 MONSTER PICKERAL AND EVEN CAUGHT 2 ROCK BASS.  KING FISHERS ALL OVER DIVE BOMBING FOR FISH AND I SAW THE ONE EAGLE.  BUT THE TREAT OF THE DAY WAS THIS FOX SQUIRREL THAT EVEN POSED FOR ME.

ONLY 4 PERCY BUT...

ONLY 4 TODAY PERCY BUT LOOK AT THIS MONSTER 18 INCH PICKERAL I SNAGGED.  THICK AND HEAVY TOO !  ALSO ADDING A NEAT PHOTO OF THE SUN ILLUMINATING A TREE.

RARE TREAT

YOU KNOW IT'S HOT WHEN YOU ARE WAIST DEEP IN THE CREEK AND IN THE SHADE AND...….STILL SWEATING.  I AM SURE THIS IS THE MAIN REASON I ONLY CAUGHT 2 FISH.  BUT A RARE TREAT AS I SAW A MOTHER RACCOON TEACHING HER BABY TO SWIM.  I WATCHED THEM FOR A HALF HOUR I WOULD SAY AND WHAT A SHOW I GOT. ALSO A VIEW DOWN THE CREEK AT MY FAVORITE FISHING HOLE.

ONLY 9 PERCY

ONLY CAUGHT 9 0N SUNDAY PERCY AND NONE OF ANY MAJOR SIZE BUT A GREAT DAY WITH THE WILDLIFE AND THE PEACE AND QUIET. AND....THESE 2 GREAT PICTURES.  I COULDN'T GET OVER HOW CLOSE I GOT TO THE GROUNDHOG AS HE DIDNT SEEM TO FEAR ME

BACK IN THE CREEK

PERCY I FINALLY GOT BACK IN THE CREEK AND A GOOD DAY.  ALTHOUGH IT STARTED OUT ALL WRONG.  WENT TO GIANT TO GET DOUGHNUTS ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY ARE NO LONGER 24 HOURS.  SO TO THE CREEK WITH ONLY COFFEE AND ACTIVIA IN THE BELLY.  THE 2ND CAST A MAJOR

TANGLE AND I WAS WONDERING IF THIS WAS AN OMEN.  BUT IT GOT BETTER AS I SAW AN EAGLE...A BALTIMORE ORIOLE...LOTS OF OTHER BIRDS AND CAUGHT 18.  A GREAT VARIETY TOO WITH FALL FISH...SMALLYS...A BLUE GILL....A PICKERAL AND THESE 2 DANDY RAINBOWS.
