Hey Guys,
Well it was a beautiful Spring break last week. I did a ton of yard work (and caught a ton of poisen Ivy Everywhere!), but I did get out fishing a couple of times. I think I missed the main run for crappie and perch, but I did get out with my dad once, Larry once, and Adam and Nate once to catch a few crappies. The picture is of a few crappies dad and I caught in a couple of hours one morning fishing in the Oatka creek. Fish were all caught on 1/32 ounce jig heads with a purple tail. Overall the crappies were more than willing to bite, but their size was smaller than desired. Made a few good packages of meat anyway (about 5 lbs). I also hit Sandy creek with Scott Last weekend and we caught 9 browns between the two of us in two hours. Fishing is coming on strong and Turkey season is right around the corner. Good Luck Boys!

Hey joe its been a while, sorry I was MIA for most of the season. Between hunting and going to see the baby in the hospital I was pretty buissy. But anyway, Colt is home and doing good, and I had my best season ever I shot that 8 on opening day of bow, and the next day I shot another nice 8 a couple miles away. I then shot 2 10 pointers one in wisconsen with my dad, that was a fun trip. ill post some pics soon. Well I hope your family is well (your kids are sure getting big) tell joce we said HI.

Hey All,
Finally got out fishing. The weather is turning nice and I am ready. Went to Sandy with Scott. We fished for about 2 hours and caught 11 browns and steelhead between the two of us.

Good day of fishing. My biggest brown was about 10 pounds. I lost one that may have pushed 15 (would have been my biggest ever for sure). Check out the three minnows (about 4-5 inches long) that were in the mouth of one of the browns I caught. Three minnows in his mouth and he was still trying to get my spinner in there, now that's amazing. Anyway, the creek blew out the day after Scott and I fished (Sunday) so now we need to wait for it to come back down. I'll keep you posted. Heard my first turkey gobble out back tonight at dark. Boy am I ready for turkey season, walleye season, pike season, pre-season bass, crappie...It's a great time of the year to fish (The best in my opinion!)
Joe
