He’s hunted exactly 0 days in 10 years. It got down to negotiating “visitation rights” every other Saturday, maybe not a full day, he’ll get cold. I gave in to a stumpy legged house pet. In seriousness A-5s boy made a great shot and once we cleared the valley of thorns it was easy tracking...

Ahh, A-5 found it by himself ahead of us despite my attempts to show off my tracking skills lol. Shows good people are still around. When’s the last time someone let a kid hunt by knocking on a door? Have to bring her a pie or something. I thought we were going to track a doe. When we got...

Go kiddos out the last 45 mins of daylight. Elaina released hers and we had a few shake the hook before I had the brains to size the hook right. The bigger one ended up at 4.6lbs. Haven’t caught cats in almost a decade so I’m a little rusty.

Might need to pay a musky guide from here at this point lol. Logan saw some pics of Pulaski and wanted to head there but I told him not until he’s big enough to handle the current and the circus. More likely we’ll grab a few trolling trips next spring or something.

I haven’t finished the canal there or the Lehigh below. I hear a lot of our trout creek jumbos are caught right below in the river but never found time to fish the wider Lehigh below Walnutport.

Kellners is kids only over in Tamaqua. First time there was yesterday and coincidence it was kids derby. Stocked 5 days ago so unless Tamaquans sneak in after dark fish must be there but it’s maybe 300’ x 50’ and clear except 30% of milfoil across the middle. Maybe all those catfish are hiding...

Below Dam at Leaser or Beltzville? I haven’t seen musky below Beltzville in ‘Po. Saw what had to be a Striper once when I snagged it on a salmon egg hook and it rolled telling me the snag had fins. Ended up finding out Kellners had a catfish derby for kids going Sat. Got a big goose egg somehow...

One LMB off the fishing dock in Mauch chunk on a shiner then the heavy wind and pouring rain chased us away. Adrian would’ve roughed it in his shorts and light rain coat but his mama would kill me if he got sick so we ran. Elaina decided she wants to fish for musky so I’m plotting our next...

No pic of Pali yet but got a colorful bow.

Got the kids out to Germantown again. They fished 45 mins and the boys got a couple 16” trout each. The 12 yo hooked a big pali, handed the rod to his little brother Adrian, and Adrian decided to keep it. Att the that Elaina decided she was done. She doesn’t like keeping them and they wanted...

Yep, I always have metal mesh and fencing up. A few I need to put back up since moving stuff. Have a half dozen new heirloom cider apples/pears, 3 hybrid chestnuts, a peach, a few yoshino cherries, dogwoods, even the blackberries, etc. are mostly fenced. They started eating hostas against the...

8 legal so far and at least 3 definite shooters. Heck any legal I’d shoot unless it’s a basket young one and even those are at risk after the first week or two lol.

Got the boys an O/U 20 but it’s been returned round 3 for bore corrosion. Wanted to get kids into upland birds and what not. So with that train wreck I’m looking to archery instead. Doing my usual scouting too lol.

If any of y’all think of it I need a restock of whitakers blue goo egg sacks. Can shoot you some cash in the mail or send PayPal to grab me some. I still have a pound or so of Joe D’s super singles but I can’t seem to get the recipe right for those sticky egg sacks. Elaina got her 14 lbs rainbow...

I’m looking forward to fall. Been a hectic year already and I’m done with the heat. From muggy 80s in Feb @ OH to West Palm to last weeks 104 in So Cal I’m ready for really cold weather. I missed the cool down last week unfortunately. Came home with flu like symptoms Friday night so not sure if...

I haven’t done as well with traps here honestly. Tried 2-3 really minnow filled spots to. I just picked up one of those square flat umbrella nets but haven’t tried it much.

I used to slice shiners open and catch channels on them. Never had luck with salted anything, shiners, mealworms, waxies, tried quite a few of the preserved baits but gave up pretty quickly. I also don’t like to use frozen bait when fishing salt though so maybe it’s just me

I see a lot of boats out running green lights or in a few cases no lights. It was pretty good for me and kids like handling bait or playing in water. Just surprised I’m not getting more out deep.

Ha, A-5 who didn’t use Fb last I knew is getting ban hammers?!? I mean I’m in Cali now but I didn’t think it could spread digitally or so quickly 😂

That’s awful! Had a funny joke typed up but I’ll save it. Feel better!
