Gone fishing

By John, 7 July, 2025

Today I spent a much needed hour in the garden weeding and pruning tomatoes. I was going to go back up with some stakes to get the tomatoes tied up but the rest of the day got away from me. In the evening I went fishing with some of the boys. Power baits crappie nibblers really get the little fish going, but we were at the bottom of the container. I like these things, and only recently started using them in the past month. It's like having a bunch of waxworms that never go bad. 

Once we ran out, me and one of the boys each got a fish with lures. Peter with a simple neon grub on a hook, me with a Swedish Pimple. Usually I have a lot more luck with the Swedish Pimple but this time I only caught one fish, and based on the hook placement, I think I accidentally hooked the fish on the outside of its mouth. I think the fish at this lake are far more skeptical than the fish were at Lake Josephine.
