SADLY WE LOST A GOOD FRIEND THIS WEEK.   WILLIAM PAIGED PASSED AWAY AND WAS THE SON OF WILLIAM AND LAURA PAIGE.  MARRIED TO ETHEL AND SURVIVED BY SON SCOTT AND DAUGHTER SONIA.   HE AND ETHEL  WORKED AS A TEAM AS OUR TAX COLLECTORS FOR YEARS.  ALSO WORKED AT AGWAY AND COLES HARDWARE.   BILL WAS JUT A REALLY GREAT GUY !

34 PERCY

 SNAGGED 34 TODAY AND THE BIGGEST WAS THIS 17 INCH FALL FISH.  A HUGE SWARM OF BUGS THAT APPEARED TO BE SOME KIND OF SMALL MAYFLIES.   AND  I THINK IT WAS A BLACK BUZZARD AND IT FIT THE DESCRIPTION ONLINE AS IT WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE. 

32 PERCY

 HAD AN INTERESTING DAY OF FISHING AS MY REEL BROKE AND DEALT WITH THAT AS I SNAGGED 32.   13 AND 17 INCH SMALLYS AND ANOTHER WAS A 20 INCH PICKERAL.  HAD SOME FISHING BUDDIES AND A GORGEOUS SUNRISE WITH TONS OF WILDLIFE.

 CAUGHT 30 TODAY AND LOTS OF WILDLIFE.  THE PICKERAL WAS 14 - 15 INCHES.  PLENTY OF WILDFLOWERS TOO.   NOT SURE I EVER SAW SO MANY BLUE HERONS

CATCHING UP PERCY

 CATCHING UP ON MY PHOTOS A BIT.....THE SMALLMOUTH WAS AN 18 INCH MONSTER AND THE PICKERAL WAS ALSO 18 INCHES AND THE REST ARE WILDLIFE AND EXPLAIN THEMSELVES.  FISHING HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE THIS YEAR.  THE BLUE HERON LANDED IN A TREE RIGHT ABOVE ME.   ALSO PLEASE VISIT ON FACEBOOK :  IMAGES OF MAZEPPA PA .     MORE PHOTOS ALBUMS THERE

50 MORE PERCY

PERCY I DIDN'T MATCH THE TOTAL OF MY LAST TRIP TO THE CREEK BUT I WAS TRYING AS I SNAGGED 50 MORE AND LOOK AT SOME OF THESE SMALLYS I CAUGHT.  ALL IN THE 13 - 15 INCH RANGE. THE PICKERAL WAS 17 INCHES AND THE FALL FISH WAS 14.  AND FOR THE 2ND TIME I SPOTTED AN ALBINO CRAYFISH
 

66

 

WELL PERCY I HAD A DAY LIKE I WILL NEVER HAVE AGAIN AS I SNAGGED 66 FISH.  GRANTED MANY WERE MEDIUM TO SMALL SIZE BUT STILL FUN ON ULTRALIGHT GEAR.  AND OF THE 66 MOST WERE SMALLLOUTH BASS.   ALSO ADDED PICS OF A BLUE HERON SITTING IN A TREE.....CARDINAL FLOWER....A FUNGI AND JOE PYE. AS FOR THE FOOT I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE WHOLE PICTURE OF THE FOOT THING AT THE BEACH SO I DECIDED TO TRY MY OWN VERSION BUT......BUFFALO CREEK MAZEPPA PA STYLE.
