Yep, I wasn’t greedy and caught only a few. I thought my scale was broke at 6.5-7.5 but that was kg, she was 14 lbs+, easily my best ever though Mrs. GC tried popping my ego saying would I have caught it in a week or two if it was still there. My answer, an emphatic “Of Course!”. Can’t allow...

Tried getting an hour of shut eye from 3-4am but knowing I had a big day starting at 5am didn’t help. Leaving late tomorrow or early Monday so won’t touch water until I fly in to run youth derby. Spring season is kinda shot for me but this one was a quick fun high point.

Spent all day working at hatchery on 3 days w/o sleep, waiting on last crew of guys I threw a half dozen casts into creek and hooked into this chunky lady. I’m not that good, they put 3-400 jumbos and 1200 yearlings @ 15-17” and 2-3 lbs into small creek that’s low right now so odds are good...

😗 just gonna leave this here,

In the water of course 😉

First trip out of season

About 10, best was a 17” range 2-3 lbs ‘Bow, some fat Brookies in the mix. Only had an hour or two to fish though.

I’ve a few 55 gal food barrels if anyone on here needs one for this. They have the small fitting so you’d have to cut it out for a motor but it’s quick with a sawzall. I was experimenting with stabilizing greenhouse temps and bought a bunch. Slowly moving them out and down to a few now.

On a newer boat motor I’m surprised there isn’t a shorter interval change or two at the beginning. No reason to think this just seems like machining fluids, micro particles, etc. might contaminate oil initially. Melvins forgotten more than I’ll know on motors. I wouldn’t even the tidbits I...

Melvin is the man when it comes to this stuff. There was a very esoteric white paper on oil science and I went DEEP into the weeds on it. Freezing temps are the worst thing for motor oil not use. Modern synthetic detergent blends less so. The author was a senior Chemist retired from Exxon or...

From Virginia

I’ve to live vicariously, post them up for me. Not that y’all need my encouragement to go fishing.

:mad::mad:

Upstate NY yesterday, GA today, PA tomorrow, VA Wed, Could always be worse than a few hours fishing Mel😖

The 18 lbser I couldn’t net it was so big. I honestly forgot about it after kids derby and then saw the news when someone caught it. Had two massive ‘Loops we almost lost when our generator kicked out on trek from hatchery last stocking. I put them in with Float Stockers and asked them to camp...

Last year’s contest, last I knew an adult caught it after and submitted for state record. Being a co-op it’s probably eligible but I honestly hope not. It’s a gin clear cold creek that brings out the worst in some people at times. My Son’s catch ~ 24.5” and 8.5 lbs IIRC
