THANKSGIVING

A LITTLE LATE GETTING THIS POSTED BUT MAZEPPA MANNA HAD THEIR FIRST THANKSGIVING DINNER AND A BIG SUCCESS.  BUT HOW COULD IT NOT BE WITH BETH OVERSEEING THINGS.  MOM AND DAD HAVE TO BE LOOKING DOWN WITH PRIDE !   SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT CHRISTMAS EVE SERIVCE WILL BE AT  7:00 AND HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.

MISTY MORNING FISHING

GOT TO THE CREEK YESTERDAY ABOUT 7:30 AND THE FOG WAS JUST LIFTING OFF THE CREEK AND JUST GORGEOUS.  SURPRISINGLY I DIDN'T SEE ANY DEER.  BUT PLENTY OF HERONS AS THE CREEK IS NOT MUCH MORE THAN A TRICKLE AT SPOTS.  TONS OF WOODPECKERS AND GOT TO SEE ONE OF THE BALD EAGLES AGAIN.
GOT  11 FISH AND TRYING TO GET A FEW LAST DAYS IN THE CREEK BEFORE IT GETS TOO COLD.

12 AND A GREAT DAY IN THE CREEK

GOT OUT FISHING YESTERDAY AND WHAT A VARIETY OF WILDLIFE TO GO WITH THE 12 FISH I CAUGHT.  BALD EAGLE...A PAINT TURTLE...GREEN AND BLUE HERONS...BUT THE KINGFISHERS WERE THE ONES THAT STOLE THE SHOW.  THERE WAS ONE TIME WHILE FISHING A SPOT A KINGFISHER DIVE BOMBED 3 TIMES FOR FISH.  JUST A WONDERFUL DAY IN THE..........CHILLY........CREEK.  FALL IS DEFINITELY RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

13

GOT OUT FISHING YESTERDAY AND THE CREEK IS REALLY LOW.  THE ONE THING ABOUT THAT IS WATCHING THE KINGFISHERS PUT ON A SHOW.   SAW SEVERAL YESTERDAY DIVE BOMB IN THE CREEK AND GET THEIR DINNER.  GOT 13 FISH BUT WE SURE NEED RAIN.

ONLY 11 BUT A GREAT DAY

OUT FISHING 2 DAYS AGO AND THOUGH I ONLY GOT 11 A GREAT DAY.  SAW ONE OF THE EAGLES...BLUE HERON..AND CHASED A BUCK THAT WAS SLEEPING BY THE CREEK. ONE FISH THAT JUMPED OFF ON ME WAS A NICE SIZED PICKERAL.  THE CREEK IS MEGA LOW AND WE REALLY NEED RAIN.

NOW OPEN

MAZEPPA MANNA OFFICIALLY HAD IT'S RIBBON CUTTIN THIS WEEK AND IS NOW SERVING THE COMMUNITY.  WILL PUT A PICTURE IN THE ALBUM.
