QUIET

TURN OFF EVERYTHING AROUND YOU AND LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO.....YES QUIET PLACES DO EXIST AND PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP WHY I ONLY FISH MAZEPPA

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
