Wow, has it really been that long since my last post?Looking back over last years posts, I'm seeing a pattern develop. As gung-ho as I am to get out there, the reality is that my body is gets to beat up when I string together to many days.
I have been out. However, I'd be lying if I said it was for anything more than stocking up the freezer with perch. I can live on a steady diet of perch, but I'm not so excited about inflicting that upon you folks. A couple of outing reports of that nature per year is probably more than enough.
I honestly can't say I'm to upset about not getting in the water much lately. Other matters have taken over top priorities as of late. My house on the lake is FINISHED! The builder had originally hoped to be finished late spring. As things go, that did not happen. I had hoped to be up there to take advantage of the spring Laker' action. Instead, its ready for the opening of hunting season. All good.The end result very much matches what I was envisioning from the outset. I'll have some pictures here eventually. Just have to get the deck installed. I had to hold off on that till the final bill arrived as things were looking tight. All is good so the deck goes in now. A little slower to come to fruition than one would hope, but its always a good thing when a plan comes together.
Now onto the fun part. It will be nice to get the veggies in next spring. I have a lot of brush to be cleared. You can well imagine how much I am enjoying that. A very painful enterprise. Good news is it comes down a lot faster than I would have suspected. Machetes are exceedingly efficient. In a couple of hours I have cleared a noticeable swath along the shoreline.
May not be another fishing post this season I am afraid. Maybe something on hunting, maybe on the houses progress. I have a crap load of footage from the season I should probably string together at some point.
